General description
Filter Code: FGLP
Filter Type: Screen filter
Our Fluoropore® membrane is a hydrophobic, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) polymer membrane bonded to a polypropylene support to improve the handling characteristics of the filter for normal applications. Fluoropore membranes provide broad chemical compatibility, high flow rates and consistency. (Please note that catalogue numbers containing "FHUP" are unlaminated, or produced without a backing.) Our Omnipore membrane is a hydrophilic PTFE membrane that is compatible with virually all solvents, acids, and alkaline solutions.
