Pleated Filters with Polypropylene Microfiber Media
Figure 1 : Flotrex AP Filters
Description and Use
Constructed with gradient density thermally-
bonded polypropylene microfiber media, absolute-
rated Flotrex AP (FAP) filters (Figure 1) combine
exceptional solids-holding capacities with precise
micron retention ratings. The FAP filters are con-
structed of FDA acceptable high-purity polypropylene.
FAP filters are absolute-rated for air, gas and liquid
filtration with low pressure drop across the wide
range of 0.65 to 40 microns. Sheets of melt-blown
media are layered to provide absolute particle
retention, high solids loading and long service life.
Typical Applications
Typical Flotrex AP filtration applications include:
• Prefiltration and Final Chemical Filtration –
broad chemical compatibility
• Prefiltration of Pharmaceuticals and Biological
Fluids – dependable protection for final filters
• High Throughput for Beer Filtration
General Properties
