Our Microfiber disposable filter elements are manufactured from precise mixtures of borosilicate glass microfibers to the very highest standards. These elements offer exceptional filtration efficiency at very low-pressure drops and being +90% void volume give very long service life.
The elements are bonded to impart high strength and eliminate fiber shedding. The choice between the different binders available will depend upon the application. Each type of element is available in a wide range of efficiencies covering the complete range from coarse bulk contamination removal (grade 80) to essentially complete removal of sub-micron contaminates.
C Grade
Elements are specifically designed for the removal of liquid aerosols and particulate from gases in both corrosive and non-corrosive applications. The C type element is constructed of two layers of borosilicate microfiber. The first (inner layer) is comprised of very fine fiber and is more densely packed to capture microscopic aerosols. The outer layer is made up of slightly larger fibers which allow the csaptured liquids to pass through the depth of the wall and drain off the filter element. This two-layer design is critical to proper coalescing, and borosilicate microfiber is best suited for this function. Coalescing elements should always flow from the inside to the outside of the element so that proper draining of liquids can occur. The C grade elements will simultaneously collect particulates.
K Grade
Elements are specified for particulate removal where corrosive gases are to be filtered as they have excellent chemical resistance.They are also used when highly reactive gases are being analyzed since they exhibit very low levels of adsorption. The borosilicate microfiber provides relatively high flow rates with low pressure drops which is critical in any analytical application. The PVDF binder creates a non-reactive surface which allows accurate sample analysis.
CS Grade
Elements are designed for high temperature coalescing applications good to 900°F.Excellent for heavy coalescing. These elements mimic the C grade, only with a silica binder rather than a PVDF one.
RC Grade
Elements are designed for high pressure coalescing applications.These elements consist of a borosilicate glass inner layer sandwiched between two, rayon / phenolic layers.The reinforced inner/outer layers provide excellent strength.
S Grade
Elements are completely inorganic and are used to filter particulate at temperatures from 300°F to 900°F.The S21-R Type are used in diesel emission applications.
ET Grade
Elements are hydrocarbon-free filters developed to remove particulate for automotive emission testing up to 400°F.
Standard Grade
Elements are suitable for all particulate removal applications in non-corrosive gases and liquids.The coarsest grade that will adequately protect the application should be choosen, as this will result in the most economical solution to the contamination problems.
L Grade
Elements have a hydrophobic binder, making them ideal for applications where sterilization is required.
