Description

General description

The Polygard^® CN Cartridge Filter products are nominally rated filters designed for particle removal applications in liquids and gases. The pleated structure of Polygard^®-CN filter media minimizes pressure differentials during the filtration process, a 5.0 μm pore size and the all-polypropylene construction of these filters conveys low levels of extractables and broad chemical compatibility. Downstream filter performance is enhanced due to efficient particle and microorganism reduction.

Polygard-CN cartridge filters provide high throughput with minimal differential pressure. Cartridges are robust, strong, resilient and are designed to withstand multiple steam-in-place cycles.

Typical Applications
Polygard-CN cartridge filters are widely used in the beverage industry for liquid and gas filtration applications, for fining operations and bioburden reduction.

Regulatory Compliance
Polygard^® CN Cartridge Filters are designed, developed, and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registering body to an ISO 9000 Quality Systems Standard and are shipped with a Certificate of Quality. Each cartridge filter is supported by a Validation Guide for compliance with regulatory requirements.

For traceability and easy identification, each cartridge filter is marked with identifying characteristics.

Multiple Formats Available
A full range of Polygard^® CN Cartridge Filter sizes is available to suit your application requirements. A variety of connection options are offered for easy adaptation to existing housings.

Preparation Note

Sterilization: May be autoclaved for 10 cycles of 30 minutes at 126 °C or steam sterilized for 10 cycles for 30 minutes at 126 °C or hot water sanitized at 80 °C maximum for 30 minutes.

Analysis Note

Gravimetric Extractables: After autoclaving and a 24-hour soak in ASTM^® Type 1 reagent grade water at controlled room temperature, meets the USP Oxidizable Substances Test requirements of <50 mg.
