Unique Manufacturing Process Gives Superior StructureUsing a numerically controlled process, molten polypropylene is extruded into highly porouscartridges. The microfibers weld together as they cool. The result is a dimensionally stable filtermedia that resists distortion during increased fluid pressure.

True Gradient Pore Size DistributionFiberFlo MicroFiber cartridges contain void spaces that are farmore accessible to dirt particles than those filters using gradeddensity construction. The proprietary melt blown processdevelops a filter with enormous quantities of progressivelysmaller pores without significantly increasing bulk density.Porosity remains uniform, from coarse to fine, throughout thecartridge wall providing maximum throughput and extendedservice life.

In contrast, graded density is a relatively unsophisticated methodthat compresses more fiber into a fixed volume to achievesmaller voids and pores. This can cause a dramatic reduction inpercentage of void volume resulting in excessive pressure dropand shortened service life.

Free From ExtractablesFiberFlo MicroFiber filter surfaces are free from

lubricants, surfactants or antisatic chemicals so they will not cause foaming or othercontamination. Polypropylene microfiber is suitable for potable water filtration andfood processing applications. The polypropylene cartridges are suitable for filteringa variety of industrial chemicals.

Homogenous Materials for Easier DisposalThe MicroFiber filter media is composed of a single material for easier pulverization

or incineration. This efficiency in waste volume reduction canlead to a direct cost savings in disposal. In addition,

polypropylene provides 2,000 BTU/ LB of heatenergy for any process that uses it as a fuel.

The true gradient density of thesefilters results in particle entrapmentthroughout the depth of the media,reducing surface blinding andproviding increased filter life and dirtholding capacity.

Every cartridgeis individuallyembossed withits micron rating.

Micron ratingsrepresent thesmallest sizeparticle that canbe trapped at anefficiency of 98%or better in asingle pass withend cap seals.

Greater void volume than resin bonded or woundcartridge.

Homogeneous high purity media. Fibers free of residualextrusion oils, surfactants, antistatic agents and resinbinders.

Fibers thermally bonded - dimensionally stable filtermedia.

Stratified pore structure allows separation of solidsalong a size gradient.

Hydrophobic media.

High efficiency media.

Easily ground into powder or incinerated.

Increased dirt-holding capacity. Longer service life.Lower initial pressure drop.

Meets FDA requirements for food contact. Will notcause foaming in process stream.

Reduced fiber migration. Micron rating not altered asdifferential pressure increases. Rigid, highly porouscartridge does not require a support core.

Results in particle entrapment throughout depth ofmedia reducing surface blinding and increasing dirtholding capacity.

Filter will absorb undissolved and non-emulsified oilout of liquid, air or gas streams.

Will filter out large percentage of contaminant on asingle pass. Not dependent on the filter “cake” toimprove particle retention.

Reduced waste volume.

Performance AttributesFlow Rates

Filtration Efficiency (examples)

Cartridges arechallenged at 3 to 5

GPM/10” on a singlepass with a water

based slurry of eitherSAE-Fine or SAE-Coarse test dust

depending on themicron rating. The

efficiencies are derivedby measuring the ratio

of upstream versusdownstream particle

counts taken on anautomated particle

counter.

Compliance of Polypropylene MicroFiber CartridgesFDAMinntech Corporation, Filtration Technologies Group, polypropylene microfiber media, using a base homopolymerresin, is in compliance with the appropriate guidelines outlined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.Construction components meet the FDA requirement outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Section177.1520 (a), (1) and Section 177.1520 (c), (1.1).Guidance in the proper use of polymers is set forth by appropriate government regulation and must be determined bythe end user. End users are encouraged to consult the Code of Federal Regulation in determining acceptable use forpolypropylene homopolymers (Ref...Title 21, Section 176.170).

NSFFiberFlo MicroFiber Cartridges with and without end caps, are certified by NSF International under ANSI/NSFStandard 42 for replacement parts.

USPFiberFlo MicroFiber Cartridges meet the requirement of the USP Class VI plastics test as demonstrated by USPBiological Reactivity Tests, In Vivo.
