What is a Polypropylene Filter Cartridge?

A polypropylene (PP) filter cartridge, commonly referred to as a PP filter or polypropylene filter, is crafted from 100% polypropylene material. Known for its versatility and stability, polypropylene is highly compatible with most industrial fluids and exhibits minimal reactivity. These PP filter cartridges are thermally sealed, eliminating the need for adhesives, and feature advanced technology to ensure precise micron ratings.


PP filter cartridges are designed to withstand harsh operational conditions and can endure repeated cleaning, making them ideal for extended use. They are particularly suitable for bulk conditioning of products before membrane sterilization and pasteurization. Their robust mechanical strength and wide chemical resistance make these polypropylene filters perfect for long-term applications.

Pleated Membrane Cartridge

Pleated Filter Cartridge

Our polypropylene pleated cartridges are made from 100% polypropylene material with a sturdy polypropylene core and cage. Manufactured with advanced polypropylene microfiber media, they excel in membrane pre-filter applications and offer a cost-effective alternative to membrane filtration. The gradient density microfiber technology ensures excellent filtration with high flow rates and significant contaminant holding capacity. The unique design, with varying fiber diameters, creates a filter within a filter, enhancing contamination control and throughput.

Powder Sintered

Spun Filter Cartridge

Our spun PP filter cartridges are crafted from 100% polypropylene fibers, spun into a true gradient density from the outer to the inner surface. Available with or without a core, these cartridges maintain their structure even under harsh conditions and prevent media migration. The polypropylene fibers are continuously blown onto a central molded core without binders, resins, or lubricants. As unfiltered fluid passes through the depth filter matrix, it progressively retains finer particles, ensuring high efficiency, excellent dirt retention, and a long filter life. Fluid flows from the outside to the inside, trapping particulates securely and allowing clean fluid to flow out through the cartridge.

Advantages of PP Filter Cartridges

  1. Chemical Compatibility: Versatile for various industrial applications with compatibility across a wide range of chemicals.
  2. Simple Installation: Easy to install, minimizing setup time and simplifying maintenance.
  3. High Filtration Capacity: Handles substantial liquid volumes for effective filtration and extended service life.
  4. Higher Flow Rate: Facilitates efficient liquid flow, reducing downtime and boosting operational efficiency.
