Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) Filter Membrane
Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membranes combine excellent selectivity, high flow rates and low pressure requirements which helps laboratories simplify their filtration setups while maintaining quality and efficient workflow. Its unique nanofiber mesh construction combines extremely fine pores with a lot of open space to allow easy liquid flow while trapping particulates up to 0.2 micron in width.
These membranes are created by extruding extremely fine PAN nanofibers onto a polyester support substrate. The nanofibers form a tight mesh that filters out particles, colloids, and bacteria larger than 0.2 micron. The mesh also has a relatively open structure that allows water or aqueous solutions to pass through quickly with very little applied pressure.
Features and benefits:

Features and benefits:
- Extremely fast flow rates
- Low pressure requirements
- Hydrophilic; no pre-wetting necessary
- Drinking water applications, such as gravity-fed purifiers, under-sink systems, refrigerator filters, hot/cold water dispensers, bottled water coolers, etc.
- Water and Process Fluid purification in electronics manufacturing and other industrial process industries
- Purification stages in biopharmaceutical processing and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients
- Food and beverage filtration and water purification including wine, bottled water, beer, other beverages, dairy, etc
- Compatible with alcohol (ethanol, IPA)
- Can be used in conventional cartridge formats, including pleated format such as industry standard 10, 20, and 30-inch cartridges
