Varafine™ VFSE Series Filters

Varafine filters are well suited for ultra high purity DI water applications where very fine removal ratings and extremely high flow rates are required for economical installations. These filters contain a highly asymmetric polysulfone membrane that results in exceptionally low pressure drop values.
  • Available in removal ratings from 0.02 μm to 0.45 μm
  • Double layer, patented highly asymmetric polysulfone membrane
  • Rapid rinse-up
  • Integrity testable
  • Manufactured in cleanroom environment
