Flow Rate vs Pressure Drop
EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges
provide superior chemical resistance for high-
purity microelectronics applications requiring
contaminant removal to 002micro
The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent
requirements of the semiconductor and
microelectronic industries for effective and
consistent removal of contaminants from
aggressive fluids and organic solvents
In air and gases the single-layer PTFE
membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges
provide superior chemical resistance for high-
purity microelectronics applications requiring
contaminant removal to 002micro
The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent
requirements of the semiconductor and
microelectronic industries for effective and
consistent removal of contaminants from
aggressive fluids and organic solvents
In air and gases the single-layer PTFE
membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges
provide superior chemical resistance for high-
purity microelectronics applications requiring
contaminant removal to 002micro
The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent
requirements of the semiconductor and
microelectronic industries for effective and
consistent removal of contaminants from
aggressive fluids and organic solvents
In air and gases the single-layer PTFE
membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges
provide superior chemical resistance for high-
purity microelectronics applications requiring
contaminant removal to 002micro
The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent
requirements of the semiconductor and
microelectronic industries for effective and
consistent removal of contaminants from
aggressive fluids and organic solvents
In air and gases the single-layer PTFE
membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges
provide superior chemical resistance for high-
purity microelectronics applications requiring
contaminant removal to 002micro
The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent
requirements of the semiconductor and
microelectronic industries for effective and
consistent removal of contaminants from
aggressive fluids and organic solvents
In air and gases the single-layer PTFE
membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

High Purity - Wine and Beverage Grade PESHydrophilic Polyethersulfone (PES) Membrane Developed Specically for the Wine and Beverage Industries
Wine and Beverage Grade PES cartridges provide signicant reduction of yeast and bacteria delivering critical spoilage prevention to wine producers A layer of microporous pleated polypropylene depth media combines ne particulate retention with high contaminant-holding capacity The secondary PES membrane layer provides nal retention The combination of high-ow capacity and extraordinary retention make this series ideally suited for wine and beverage production
For wine production typical application of a 065 micron GBPES element as a prelter or nal polishing lter provides removal of all yeast and multi-log reduction of Lactobacillus Plantarum and other common microbes Retention of Serattia Marcescans by LRV 7 is achieved by the 045 micron GBPES element

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges
provide superior chemical resistance for high-
purity microelectronics applications requiring
contaminant removal to 002micro
The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent
requirements of the semiconductor and
microelectronic industries for effective and
consistent removal of contaminants from
aggressive fluids and organic solvents
In air and gases the single-layer PTFE
membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges
provide superior chemical resistance for high-
purity microelectronics applications requiring
contaminant removal to 002micro
The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent
requirements of the semiconductor and
microelectronic industries for effective and
consistent removal of contaminants from
aggressive fluids and organic solvents
In air and gases the single-layer PTFE
membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

Flow Rate vs Pressure Drop
EPTFE Electronics Grade filter cartridges
provide superior chemical resistance for high-
purity microelectronics applications requiring
contaminant removal to 002micro
The EPTFE Series reliably meets the stringent
requirements of the semiconductor and
microelectronic industries for effective and
consistent removal of contaminants from
aggressive fluids and organic solvents
In air and gases the single-layer PTFE
membrane delivers hydrophobicity superior
to polypropylene or PVDF offering the best
option to prevent water retention flow
blockage and microbial growth
The ldquoextend-areardquo version (EPTFEX) offers
approximately 50 more surface area
delivering significantly higher flowrates amp
loading capacities
Cartridges are available with wet-pack option
(6040 IPADI water solution) to eliminate the
need to wet-out in the environment
IntegrityEach cartridge is individually tested to ensure
integrity In the use environment elements
may be tested for continued integrity using
standard methods
Units are rinsed with 18MΩ UPW to remove
extractables and ensure a quick rinse up upon
installation

filter cartridges provide optimized filtration
performance in sterile airgas and venting
applications The single layer PTFE membrane
with over double the hydrophobicity of
polypropylene or PVDF is the best choice
to prevent water intrusion and resulting
microbial growth
Each PPTFE cartridge is integrity tested
during manufacturing and is supported by a
validation guide for regulatory compliance
PPTFE elements are fully validated as sterilizing
grade filters in accordance with HIMA and
ASTM F838-05 guidelines Sterile effluent
was achieved with challenge concentration
levels in excess of 107 Brevundimonas diminuta organisms per cm2 of filter area
