Memtrex MP (CMMP)

Memtrex MP (polyethersulfone) capsule filters (CMMP) offer unique polyethersulfone (PES) membranes that exhibit both high throughputs and precise retention characteristics for superior performance in most applications. Additionally, CMMP filters are resistant to a wide range of chemicals and pH extremes. These DI filters are water rinsed and are the filtration solution to a wide variety of applications in the beverage, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries. 

  • Hydrophilic 
  • High throughput and precise retention characteristics 
  • Broad chemical compatibility — ideal for filtration of acids, bases, and solvents 
  • Individually integrity tested during manufacturing 
  • Rinsed with DI water during manufacturing for improved cleanliness and rinse-up times 
  • Low protein binding membrane suitable for biopharmaceutical processes 
  • Sterilized by autoclave; Sanitized with a variety of commonly used chemical agents 
  • Made in the USA 

Compliance

  • For further details please see the product factsheet and/or product declaration.

 

Memtrex NY (CMNY)

Memtrex NY (nylon) capsule filters (CMNY) have a unique polyester and polypropylene construction for enhanced reliability and usefulness. Polyester housings and support layers ensure and maintain capsule integrity, while a nylon 66 prefilter membrane layer over a final membrane layer significantly enhances filter life. CMNY filters are suitable for a wide range of applications, meeting worldwide demand for functionality in chemical, beverage, and water processing. 

  • Utilizes inherently hydrophilic, high-purity nylon 66 membrane 
  • Innovative serial layer membrane design 
  • Thermal weld techniques — no adhesives, resins or binders 
  • Low extractables 
  • 100% integrity tested and rinsed for uncompromised reliability and consistency 
  • Sterilized by autoclave; Sanitized with a variety of commonly used chemical agents, although acidic solutions should be avoided 
  • Made in the USA

      Chemical Compatibility

      chemical compatibility 

      Veolia manufactures a series of melt-blown polypropylene depth filters as well as pleated filters made from a variety of microfiber and polymeric membrane materials. This wide array of cartridge media and elastomer materials ensure the right filter and configuration for your application. Veolia filter cartridges are designed and manufactured for their resistance to a wide range of chemical solutions.

      How to Use the Chemical Compatibility Table: 

      R = Resistant. No significant change was observed in flow rate or bubble point of the membrane following 48 hours exposure to the test fluid at 77°F (25°C). 

      LR = Limited Resistance. Moderate changes in physical properties or dimensions of membrane were observed. Filter may be suitable for short term, noncritical use. 

      NR = Not Resistant. The membrane is basically unstable. Extensive shrinkage or swelling of the membrane may occur. The filter may gradually weaken or partially dissolve after extended exposure. 

      O = Insufficient Data. Testing on your own solution is recommended. 

      chemical resistance 

      Veolia polypropylene cartridge filters are made of pure polypropylene, an inert material that is compatible with a wide range of chemicals. No resins, binders, antistatic agents, or other materials are added during the manufacturing process. Veolia polypropylene cartridge filters are manufactured with a proprietary melt-blown microfiber technology. This unique process thermally welds microscopic fibers of polypropylene into a compact matrix that resists fiber sloughing and particle unloading into the filtrate, even under extreme mechanical and chemical actions. The manufacturing operation is precisely controlled to yield cartridge filters with consistent micron ratings and true graded density for high particle retention and long life.
