3M™ LifeASSURE™ EMC Series Filter Cartridge
About the product
3M™ LifeASSURE™ EMC Series Filter Cartridges are high-efficiency, 100% integrity tested, naturally hydrophilic Nylon 6,6 filter elements that have been flushed with 18-MegaOhm water. These ultra-pure water filters are designed to meet the exacting requirements of de-ionized water, critical parts cleaning and chemical applications.
Product details
Clean, efficient filtration made to last.
3M™ LifeASSURE™ EMC Series Filter Cartridge
3M™ LifeASSURE™ EMC Series Filter Cartridges feature a naturally hydrophilic Nylon 6,6 membrane with polypropylene components which provide low extractables, increased filter life and superior contaminant reduction for industrial filtration. These industrial water filters are flushed with 18-MegaOhm water and are also suited for critical parts cleaning and numerous applications where high-efficiency contaminant reduction at 0.1, 0.2, 0.45, 0.65 and 0.80μm is required.
3M multi-zone microporous membrane technology maximizes contaminant holding capacity while maintaining particle reduction efficiency. This design consists of a higher porosity zone on the upstream section that provides effective pre-filtration of large particles while a lower porosity section on the downstream side provides a sharp retention cut-off at the rated pore size. This efficient multi-zone structure enhances the surface area, lowers pressure drop and increases contaminant holding capacity and filter lifetime, thereby eliminating the need for more costly filters constructed with a double layer of membrane.
- No IPA pre-wetting required — Eliminates a potential source of contamination and chemical interaction, while reducing downtime and hazardous waste disposal
- Reduces potential for micro-bubble formation by not de-wetting in outgassing fluid unlike hydrophobic membranes such as Polypropylene, Polyethylene or PTFE
- High purity applications with low cartridge extractables
- Increased throughput and filter lifetime which lowers cost-of-ownership
- Superior flow characteristics in a compact design reduces the number of required filter elements
- Increased flow rates provide faster bath clean-up and reduced energy consumption
- Provides a low differential pressure to minimize micro bubble formation
- Filter is flushed with 18-MegaOhm water, providing downstream cleanliness out of the package
Suggested Applications
- DI Water
- Critical Parts Cleaning
- Photoresist
- Ultra-pure water
