Betafine™ PEG Series Filter Cartridges Datasheet

3M Purification's Betafine PEG Series filter cartridge, formerly known as PolyPro XL, represents a major advance in pleated polypropylene filter design and performance.

Advanced Pleat Technology (APT) construction combines

• up to 50% more filter media (surface area) than competitive filters,
• graded-density media for optimum contaminant holding,
• new cartridge design for increased flow and reduced pressure drop.

The result is a filter cartridge that lasts longer, performs better and saves money.

Surface area dictates just how long a filter will last and how it will perform. However, increasing surface area without considering the flow path between the media's pleats could result in flow restrictions and early media blinding. To achieve the optimum between surface area and performance, 3M Purification has designed Betafine PEG Series so that the pleating process and media support materials work together to provide enhanced flow characteristics and longer service life.
