Hydrophilic membrane filters are typically used with water and aqueous solutions. They can also be use
with compatible non-aqueous fluids. Hydrophilic membrane filters are typically not used for air, gas or vent
filtration since the filters would block flow if inadvertently wetted, by condensation for example.Hydrophobic
membrane filters are typically used with compatible non-aqueous fluids. They are also commonly used as
air, gas, or vent filters. Hydrophobic membrane filters are sometimes used with water or aqueous
solutions; and, in these applications, they must first be prewet with a low surface tension, water miscible
fluid prior to use.
Nylon Membranes exhibit high protein binding, solvent resistance, and dimensional stability due to
support by inert polyester.
