New Cartridge Filters Can Improve Particle Retention

July 16, 2010

A family of cartridge filters from W. L. Gore & Associates Inc. is designed to improve product quality, increase production capacity, and reduce the total cost of filtration for high-purity bulk chemicals used in semiconductor fabrication and other microelectronics manufacturing processes.

Substituting Gore filters can enable improved particle retention, higher flow rates, faster processing times and the use of fewer filters in the microfiltration of high viscosity fluids, acids, bases, solvents and specialty chemicals.

Gore filters can be an effective and economical solution to challenges, such as meeting tighter particle count specifications on existing equipment, reducing processing times and increasing capacity. Gore filters incorporate Gore’s proprietary high-flow ePTFE (expanded polytetrafluoroethylene) filtration media.
