Schwamm-Filterelemente

Sponge cartridges are a new generation of micro-porous filter elements. The continuous dendritic pore structure gives fine pores, high flow, high filtration ratings, low flow resistance and no fibre shedding, with porosity above 90%. Because the pore diameter can be adjusted in production, the filtration rating can be tuned to the application.

Typical industries: petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, machinery, coatings and inks, water treatment, food and beverage, automotive, marine, electronic photo-sensitive materials and precision instruments.
