The Starclear glass fiber filter cartridge employs a unique composite design that incorporates a polypropylene pre-filtration layer (Pall Profile® Star media) with 2 layers of 1 μm absolute rated positively charged glass fiber filter membrane (Pall Ultipor® GF Plus media).

Pall’s AB style filters are disposable 254 mm (10 inch) modular element cartridges assembled in 254,508,762, and 1016 mm lengths to be used with stainless steel housing assemblies, most suitable for medium to large scale manufacturing operations (100 L to >1000 L). With Code 7 fittings as standard, these are the most versatile filtration units in Pall’s range and incorporate a broader range of filtration media than any other filter type. These filters, when encapsulated, become the Kleenpak™ Nova capsule format.
