Download Data Sheet

The pleated depth media is encapsulated in an integral, continuous length, thermally-bonded structure for cleanliness, pressure tolerance, and chemical inertness. Offered in both absolute rated (up to 99.98% retention) and nominally rated (90% retention) grades in common adapter configurations. Manufactured in a clean-room environment to maintain high standards of purity and cleanliness.

Performance Chart

*All data is based on absolute rated medias. Nominally rated medias will result in a pressure drop reduction of approximately 10%.
