SupaPore Halar
SupaPore Halar filters are constructed using Halar fluoropolymer media, offering a unique combination of mechanical properties and thermal and chemical resistance. These filters are specifically designed to provide excellent compatibility and effective removal of particulates from solvents, solvent-based liquids, and ozonated water. SupaPore Halar filters offer greater compatibility than polypropylene media filters at a cost that is typically lower than PTFE membrane cartridges. The advanced pleated meltblown media used in these filters provides both high flow rates and long life. They are also available with Nylon 6 cage, core, and end-caps to widen the range of applications where SupaPore Halar filters can be used.
Industries and Applications
The availability of high purity, particulate-free solvents is important to many industries including manufacturers of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API), fine chemicals, and microelectronics. Typical applications include:
- API / Fine Chemical Manufacturing
- Removal of fine particulates from product streams
- Clarification of chemicals used for product synthesis
- Filtration of solvents used for purification of crystallised compounds
- Microelectronics Industry
- Particle removal from chemicals and solvents used for microchip production
- Water Treatment
- The use of ozone to control bioburden in purified water systems is increasing, and ozonated water can damage standard polypropylene cartridges. SupaPore Halar cartridges are excellent for this application, exhibiting enhanced compatibility for water dosed with ozone.
- They are also used as vent filters to protect water tanks from particulate contamination.
Compatibility¹
SupaPore Halar filters offer improved compatibility with a wide range of chemicals and solvents including:
- Acetone
- Acetonitrile
- Acetic Acid (100%)
- Diethyl Ether
- DMAC
- DMF
- DMSO
- Ethyl acetate
- Ethanol
- Hexane
- Hydrochloric Acids
- Methanol
- MIBK
- MTBE
- n-Hyphenated
- Ozonated Water
- Sodium Hydroxide
- THF
- Toluene
- Xylene
¹ Chemical compatibility of filters can be affected by many process factors (e.g., temperature, exposure time, etc.). Filters should be pre-tested under users’ own process conditions using appropriate safety practices to confirm compatibility.
Amazon Filters manufactures a comprehensive range of PED and ATEX compliant filter housings for use with SupaPore Halar cartridges. This range includes the industrial 50 and 60 Series housings and the hygienic 70 Series. We are also able to offer the ClearView housing containing a ‘window’ to allow on-line visual monitoring of the process. Please consult our Sales Office for further details on the full range.
