GGPES-Series General Grade Polyethersulfone

GGPES-Series High Purity General Grade Polyethersulfone Filter Cartridges are a well-suited choice for cost effective, general purpose membrane filtration. The highly retentive polyethersulfone membrane offers excellent flux density and low protein-binding. The naturally hydrophilic membrane wets easily to allow maximum utilization of the entire surface. These features coupled with its extended filtration area allow the GGPES-Series to provide lower pressure loss and longer service life versus comparable products. Designed to tolerate repeated hot water sanitization and in-situ steam sterilization cycles. Manufactured in a clean-room environment to maintain high standards of purity and cleanliness.
