High Purity – Food and Beverage Grade Nylon 6,6 and Plus+ Nylon 6,6
Hydrophilic Nylon 6,6 for the Food and Beverage Industry
Food and Beverage Grade Nylon 6,6 Cartridges are naturally hydrophilic requiring no surface treatments that can leach into your process. The Food and Beverage Grade Cartridge is designed to comply with all FDA requirements for food contact. Available in both our standard and Plus+ grades. The Plus+grade membrane is modified with a high positive charge for removal of endotoxins and small negatively charged contaminants. All Food and Beverage Grade Cartridges are flushed with DI water to minimize extractables. Each cartridge is also individually integrity tested.
Flow Rate
The following table represents typical water flow at one psi (69 mbar) pressure differential across a single 10 inch cartridge element. The test fluid is water at ambient temperature. Extrapolation for housings with multiple elements and higher pressure drops is acceptable, but as flows increase the pressure drop of the housing becomes more apparent.
