Fact Sheet

Flotrex* PN

Pleated Filters with Polypropylene Microfiber Media

Figure 1: Flotrex PN Filters

Description and Use

The Flotrex PN (FPN) microfiber filters (Figure 1) offer
an economical solution for your filtration needs. The
all polypropylene construction of the FPN filters pro-
vides superior chemical compatibility. The gradient
density, thermally bonded polypropylene media has
excellent dirt holding capacities and reliable reten-
tion characteristics. FPN filters do not contain any
adhesives or additives.

Typical Applications

FPN filters are an economical alternative to

membrane filters in a broad range of applications,
Including:
• Filtration of liquid polymers, coatings, and inks
• Filtration of bulk chemicals
• Beer trap filtration

• Post Carbon bed and DI bed filtration
• Pre-filtration to protect expensive final filters

General Properties

Flotrex PN filters are available in the following
nominal pore size micron rating: 0.2 0.45, 1, 2, 3, 5,
10 and 30 µm. Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 show further
details on materials of construction, dimensions,
operational limits and flow performance.
