Polypropylene Lofted Pleated Filter Cartridges
Ecologix Polypropylene Lofted Pleated Filter Cartridges (GHLS Series) provide a 100% polypropylene element designed for the removal of agglomerated and deformable contaminants in oils and gels.
With its added loft, the GHLS is an ideal combination of both depth and pleated depth functionality. This allows for high retention and holding capacity without inhibiting throughput. The pleated depth media is encapsulated in an integral, continuous length, thermally-bonded structure for cleanliness, pressure tolerance, and chemical inertness. Offered in both absolute rated (up to 99.98% retention) and nominally rated (90% retention) grades in common adapter configurations. Manufactured in a clean room environment to maintain high standards of purity and cleanliness.
