PPM Membrane Filter Cartridges are manufactured for the
specified needs of the pharmaceutical industry. Manufactured
with inherently hydrophobic polypropylene membrane, these
cartridges are designed for use in the filtration of aggressive
solvents and as compressed gas and vent filters. Each cartridge
module is individually diffusion tested using 60/40 IPA and water
before it is released from manufacture. The cartridge surface area,
filter core design, pleat configuration, and pleat packing density
have been optimized to provide increased cartridge life resulting
in lower filtration operating costs. Rugged construction ensures
repeatable steaming and testing.
