Fact Sheet
Memtrex NY
Pleated Filters with Hydrophilic Nylon 66 Membrane
Figure 1: Memtrex NY Filters
Description and Use
Memtrex NY (MNY) filters (Figure 1) are uniquely
constructed for superior performance with a serial
membrane layer design that incorporates a large
pore-size membrane layer upstream of the final
membrane layer. The first membrane acts like a
prefilter to increase the life and efficiency of the
cartridge. It is also highly effective in retaining diffi-
cult contaminants such as gelatinous particles. The
final membrane layer ensures consistent retention
characteristics.
MNY filters are designed to ensure maximum down-
stream cleanliness. GE’s Nylon 66 membranes are
naturally hydrophilic, non-shedding and do not con-
tain leachable wetting agents. Thermoplastic seal-
ing technologies are used in the cartridge
construction eliminating the need for potentially
contaminating adhesives. Each cartridge is manu-
factured under strict production control and is indi-
vidually integrity tested. GE is your complete source
for filters, crossflow membranes, housings and
other filtration equipment.
Typical Applications
MNY filters have excellent chemical compatibility
making them the ideal choice for a broad range of
applications such as high purity water, strong sol-
vents, photoresists and other critical process fluid
systems. Typical applications include:
• Filtration of pharmaceuticals intermediates
• Filtration of positive photoresists
• Final filtration of beverages
