E-PA-S Series nylon 66 (PA) pleated filter cartridges provide general-purpose micronic and submicronic particulate retention along with improved economy versus specialty grades. The nylon membrane has a long and successful history and traditional use across a range of industries including pharmaceuticals and food/beverage production. Being naturally hydrophilic, cartridges allow for fast and easy wetting in aqueous fluids. The optional positive zeta potential surface charge allows retention of particulate much finer than the stated rating.
