WATER-FINE Filter Cartridges for Ink Jet Ink Formulation

Long Life Membrane Filtration
for Aqueous Ink Jet Inks

The Pall® WATER-FINE filter is a highly asymmetric membrane filter designed for filtration of aqueous fluids, including ink jet inks. The patented polysulfone membrane features a tapered pore structure for high flow rates and long on-stream life.

The WATER-FINE filter is an excellent choice where fine filtration to 0.2μm is required, but with the economy of an industrial filter cartridge. This filter is ideal for final filtration of most office printing ink jet inks and will help assure printer performance.

Reference Pall literature publication 1254-B "Filtration Solutions for Ink Jet Ink Formulation" for specific recommendations.

Features

  • Pall WATER-FINE filters are pleated polysulfone membrane filters with polypropylene hardware.
  • Four nominal filter lengths are available:
    • 254 mm/10 in.
    • 508 mm/20 in.
