Polypropylene resin meeting FDA regulation 21CRF177.1520 is used to manufacture the 5 Star Filter thermally bonded cartridge filters.  Binders, lubricants or antistatic agents are NOT used in our manufacturing process. Each filter lot has been tested and certified under ANSI/NSF standard 42 for material requirements. Polypropylene resin's inert qualities provides exceptional chemical compatibility to handle a wide range of process fluids.

These elements are direct equivalents to CUNO BetaPure (name used for identification purposes only).

Typical applications for these exceptional elements include:

• Aerosols
• Drink Manufacturing
• Wide Variety of Chemicals
• Coolants
• Detergents
• Deionized Water Prefilter
• Juice
• Process Water
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
• Plating Solution
• Reverse Osmosis Prefilter
• Waste Effluent
• Water
  

Our thermally bonded cartridges are designed to provide high flow rates with minimum pressure drop. Flow rates of up to 5 gpm per 10" length are recommended and should not exceed 10 gpm per 10" length for optimal efficiency. The maximum operating temperature is 160 F (70 C).

Product Features and Benefits:

• Polypropylene construction provides broad chemical compatibility for many of your in house applications
• Single length construction simplifies compatibility options and provides easy disposal
• Graduated density provides twice the life of other brands
• Continuous fiber matrix prevents media migration
• Thermally bonded fiber web provides dimensionally stable construction
• Superior interlayer bonding eliminates containment
• Fixed pore structure provides optimum particle retention
• Finish-free construction provides optimum fluid purity and eliminates foaming condition
• Optional end treatments include: O-rings, closed cap, extender, spear/bay, flat gasket, comp seal, poly core

We offer micron ratings from 1 to 150 and lengths from 9.8" long to 60" long.
