FPVWB cartridges are hydrophobic 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 and high flow rates. PVWB membrane provides
excellent throughput and is available in multiple retention ratings
to help protect product quality and assure consumer safety.
Applications for FPVWB filters include bioburden control in nonaqueous liquids, compressed air filtration, Process gas filtration
and as tank vent filters to proterct the integrity of products as they
are stored in tanks.
All elements of the filter design from surface area to filter core,
pleat configuration and pleat pack density have been optimized
to provide increased cartridge life and lower filtration operating
costs. Rugged construction ensures repeatable steaming.
Representative samples from each manufacturing lot are tested
for integrity to ensure consistent performance.
