Memtrex Pleated Membrane Filters

The absolute-rated membrane cartridge filter

The Memtrex pleated cartridge filter portfolio features a microfiltration membrane as the filtration media. The portfolio covers a wide range of applications thanks to multiple hydrophilic (affinity to water) and hydrophobic (adverse to water) media such as polyethersulfone (PES), nylon 66, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). All filters in the Memtrex pleated cartridge portfolio feature absolute micron ratings for the best in product safety and purity. For assured quality and performance, the subassemblies used to construct the filters are individually integrity tested. Memtrex filters are manufactured under a quality management system that has been certified to meet ISO 9001 standards. Each filter is assigned a lot code to ensure traceability of the data and materials used in the manufacturing process. 

 

Overview

Hydrophilic Filters - “affinity to water”

Used for aqueous (water-based) system
 

PES Membrane: Memtrex MP

PES Membrane: Memtrex MP Filter

Memtrex MP pleated cartridge filters combine absolute-rated hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) membranes with polypropylene components, delivering superior particle retention at high flow rates. These filters feature extremely low protein-binding characteristics and broad chemical/pH compatibility, making them ideal for beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical applications. The asymmetric PES layer delivers low pressure drops with high throughputs and broad particle capture. Thermally welded without adhesives or additives, and individually integrity tested, these USA-made filters come standard with polypropylene adapters. For steam or autoclave sterilization, steel adapter rings are required. Alternatively, the filters can be sanitized with compatible chemical agents using the standard polypropylene adapters.

 Nylon Membrane: Memtrex NY

Nylon Membrane: Memtrex NY Filter

Memtrex NY filters feature a dual-layer nylon membrane design with a larger-pore prefilter layer followed by a final filtration membrane. The prefilter layer extends cartridge life and effectively captures gelatinous particles, while the second layer ensures consistent filtration. Made from hydrophilic nylon 66, these filters are non-shedding and free from wetting agents. Construction uses thermoplastic sealing without adhesives, and each filter undergoes integrity testing. They offer organic solvent compatibility and can be sterilized via autoclave or steam up to 125°C.

Nylon Membrane: Memtrex KM

Nylon Membrane: Memtrex KM Filter

Memtrex KM filters feature a single-layer nylon 66 membrane in an all-polypropylene housing, offering superior filtration performance and broad chemical compatibility. The naturally hydrophilic nylon membrane is non-shedding and free from wetting agents. Built with thermoplastic sealing instead of adhesives, each filter undergoes individual integrity testing. The construction includes polypropylene end caps, core, and cage, and can withstand steam sterilization or autoclaving up to 125°C, as well as chemical sanitization.

Industries and Applications

  • Microelectronics
  • Filtration of positive photoresists 
  • Filtration of organic solvents 
  • Sensitive applications to polyester

PTFE Membrane: Memtrex FE

PTFE Membrane: Memtrex FE Filter

Memtrex FE filters feature absolute-rated Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) membrane cartridges that excel in diverse fluid and gas applications. These filters are characterized by their exceptional chemical resistance and minimal extractables. The hydrophobic nature of the PTFE membrane makes them particularly effective for filtering compressed air and process gases. Manufactured in clean-room conditions using thermal welding, these filters are free from adhesives and additives. Quality is ensured through individual integrity testing of all subassemblies. Key benefits include strong resistance to aggressive substances, wide chemical compatibility, consistent particle capture in harsh environments.

ECTFE Membrane with All-Fluropolymer Construction: Memtrex HFE

ECTFE Membrane with All-Fluoropolymer Construction: Memtrex HFE Filter

Memtrex HFE hydrophobic pleated cartridge filters are constructed entirely from fluoropolymer materials, including ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE), a high-performance industrial fluoropolymer known for exceptional solvent resistance. The use of these highly resistant materials makes these filters exceptionally durable in extreme process conditions, including ozonated streams, aromatics, halogenated solvents, oxidizers, and temperatures up to 302°F (150°C). They provide consistent filtration with broad chemical compatibility, achieving 99.9% filtration efficiency at rated pore size (verified by ASTM F795 and F661 testing). The filters are thermally bonded without adhesives or binders and can be sanitized with compatible chemicals, though steam sterilization should be avoided due to their hydrophobic nature.Their advanced pleat pack design enables reduced pressure drop and enhanced flow rates.
