PolyPro® XLPolypropylene Pleated Graded-Density Filter Cartridges
Featuring MaxMedia™ Construction for Extended Filter Lifetime
Cuno’s PolyPro XL filter cartridge represents a major advance in pleated polypropylene filter
design and performance. MaxMedia construction (patent pending) combines:
> Up to 50% more filter media (surface area) than competitive filters
> Graded-density media for optimum contaminant holding
> New cartridge design for increased flow and reduced pressure drop.
The result is a filter cartridge that lasts longer, performs better, and saves money.
The MaxMedia AdvantageSurface area dictates just how long a filter will last
and how it will perform. However, increasing surface
area without considering the flow path between the
media’s pleats could result in flow restrictions and
early media blinding. To ensure the optimum
between surface area and performance, Cuno has
ensured that the pleating process and media support
materials work together to provide enhanced flow
characteristics and longer service life.

Graded-Density - the Key to Longer LifeThe PolyPro® XL filter’s graded-density media structure removes particles sequentially by size - the larger
particles by the more open, outer medium and the smaller particles by the
tighter, inner medium. The outer medium acts as a prefilter, while the
inner provides the absolute removal specified by the cartridge
rating. This construction effectively spreads the contaminant
through the depth of the filter media resulting in extremely high
contaminant capacity with lower pressure drop for longer service life.

Chemical CompatibilityPolypropylene construction provides chemical compatibility in many demanding process fluid applications.
Compatibility is influenced by process operating conditions; in critical applications, cartridges should be tested
under actual conditions to ensure correct selection.
Flow Characteristics and SizingOptions:. Reduced cartridge changeout frequency - For a
given process flow rate, the graded-density structureand maximum filter area decrease filter cartridgechangeout frequency by 30 to 50 percent or moredepending on the application.
. Reduced filter housing costs - For new applications,the low pressure drops of the PolyPro XL filter allowsmaller or fewer housings to be specified. Fewer filtercartridges and smaller housings ensure lower capitaland consumables costs, year after year!
Ideally, filter systems should be sized at an initial dif-
ferential pressure of 0.5 to 1 psid (0.04 to 0.07 bar).
Low flow rates further extend the life of the filter sys-
tem. In most applications, doubling the filter area
(reducing the flow rate per unit area by one-half) re-
sults in two and one-half times the throughput.

PolyPro® XL Filters for Electronics & ChemicalsToday’s electronics manufacturing and chemicals processing demand
ever increasing levels of filtration efficiency and filtrate purity. PolyPro XL
cartridge filters provide the answer for a broad range of applications.
> Pre-reverse osmosis (Pre-RO) water filtration requires robust
cartridges with long life to protect expensive RO membranes from
seasonal fluctuations and process upsets. Low particle count
ultrapure water is necessary at multiple points in every
defect-sensitive production facility.
> Plating and cleaning baths must maintain very low particle
counts, despite constant contaminant addition, to provide the
highest yields.
> Complex multi-layer board processes need an economical filter
capable of high throughputs and extended lifetimes. Heavy
contaminant loads must be handled without premature plugging of
the filter.
> Fine chemical production demands economical, rigorous filter
cartridges with long service life. PolyPro XL filter cartridges are
compatible with a wide range of process chemicals.
Durable polypropylene construction provides superior chemical and
mechanical compatibility under the most severe service conditions.
Proper cartridge selection for individual process conditions sized for low initial pressure drop will ultimately extend
cartridge lifetime and compatibility.
The PolyPro XL Filtration AdvantageA recirculating electroless nickel plating bath can be optimized with PolyPro XL filters. For high density
memory devices, particle defects can be safely controlled with in-line 0.6 µm filtration. By replacing a 0.6 µm
absolute rated competitive cartridge with an equally retentive PolyPro XL filter, the pressure drop can be reduced
by one half, providing the flexibility to increase the flow through the bath by a factor of 4. With the PolyPro XL
filters, the bath will clean up more efficiently after the high density devices are introduced into the plating solution.
PolyPro XL filters effectively remove the contaminating particles while maintaining or increasing process yields.
Product throughput in this critical process step can be increased, and filter changeout frequency reduced, a direct
result of the 60% surface area increase - only available with the
PolyPro XL filter’s innovative MaxMedia technology.

The PolyPro® XL Filtration Advantagecontinues...Serial filtration was employed in this ambient temperature acid transfer,
with a 10 µm PolyPro XL prefilter prior to a 1.2 µm PolyPro XL final
filter. The low initial pressure drop and graded-density construction of
the PolyPro XL filter allowed the process to run for extended periods
before filter plugging. This optimized filtration scheme delivered
premium quality acid with very low particle counts.

The PolyPro® XL Filtration AdvantageIn applications such as fermentation feed streams, serial filtration is often employed to ensure sterility. A typical
configuration could be a 0.6 µm PolyPro XL prefilter upstream of a 0.2 µm rated sterile membrane filter cartridge.
In those instances where greater membrane protection is required, a 0.6 µm or a 0.2 µm rated PolyPro XL filter
will provide longer final membrane life than competitive 0.6 µm rated products. The high surface area of PolyPro
XL filters coupled with graded-density construction allows the process to run for extended periods of time before
filter plugging and changeout.
To underscore the PolyPro XL filter cost benefit advantage, use following sizing example for a as a guideline:
