PPE-Series High Purity Economy Grade Pleated Polypropylene
PPE-series filter cartridges provide an economical, 100% polypropylene element for removal of fine or coarse particulate from fluid streams.
PPE-Series Overview
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.
