The DuraPES™ Series PES membrane features a highly asymmetric pore structure, delivering high throughput, effective depth filtration, strong dirt-holding capacity and high flow rates versus other membrane types. It can be slit into tape widths for cost-efficient integration into OEM filtration devices of various sizes. These flat sheet microfiltration membranes are used in cartridges and syringe filters for industrial, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and medical applications. Users must evaluate suitability, safety, performance, and regulatory compliance for their specific use.
