Representative samples from each manufacturing lot are tested
for integrity to ensure consistent performance.
FPVWL cartridges are hydrophilic and manufactured with high
capacity PVDF polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane. The
proprietary membrane casting process creates a thick membrane
with high contaminant holding capacity, excellent retention
characteristics, high flow rates and low protein binding. PVWL
membrane provides excellent throughput and is available in
multiple retention ratings to help protect product quality and
assure consumer safety.
Applications for FPVWL filters include prefiltration and final
filtration of beer, wine, bottled water and aseptically packaged
products like juices. Our food & beverage grade PVWL membrane
filters are designed for use as prefilters in aseptic filling
applications for wine and beer to remove spoilage organisms and
preserve flavor.

PVDF membrane is particularly suited for the filtration of products
that contain elements that can adsorb to the media, such as
proteins. The very low binding characteristics of PVDF make it an
especially good choice for filtration of beer and wine.
