Product details

3M™ LifeASSURE™ EPF Filter Cartridges are compatible with a wide range of chemicals for critical microelectronics applications that require high particle retention and high flow rates with filter ratings of 0.04 and 0.20μm. High flow rates help increase the rate of re-circulation, allowing you to achieve particle counts faster without requiring IPA pre-wetting.

Each filter is integrity-tested and flushed with 18-MegaOhm water before shipment, making LifeASSURE EPF Filter Cartridges suitable for UPW and high purity chemicals.

Hydrophilic PES membrane.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ EPF Filter Cartridges have a hydrophilic PES membrane that provides a high flow rate to help increase the rate of re-circulation, allowing you to achieve particle counts more rapidly with no IPA pre-wetting required.

Suitable for critical microelectronics applications.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ EPF Filter Cartridges are ideally suited for critical microelectronics applications including process water, ultrapure water and aqueous-based chemicals that require high particle retention and high flow rates with filter ratings of 0.04 and 0.20μm.

Excellent chemical and thermal compatibility.

The hydrophilic PES membrane with polypropylene hardware construction provides excellent chemical and thermal compatibility.

Consistent filter performance.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ EPF Filter Cartridges provide consistent, high-quality performance throughout the life of the filter.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ EPF Filter Cartridges contain a hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) membrane and are available in 10 in. (254 mm), 20 in. (508 mm), 30 in. (762 mm) and 40 in. (1,016 mm) cartridge lengths (nominal) with a maximum operating temperature of 176°F (80°C). The cage, core, end caps and membrane support layer are made of polypropylene to provide excellent compatibility with a wide range of chemicals.

Hydrophilic PES membrane - The high flow rate increases the rate of re-circulation, which allows particle counts to be achieved more rapidly; no IPA pre-wetting required
