Ceramic membrane ultrafi ltration is a time tested technology that is relatively new to the e-coating industry. It can be used to extend the life of the Alkaline cleaner bath.
Membrane fi lters are also suitable for E-coat paint UF systems.
Product features of the ceramic membrane fi lter include:
Excellent chemical resistance
Broad pH range of 2-13
Inert to solvents and common chemicals
Can be aggressively cleaned
Suitable for alkaline and acidic baths
Allows for higher fl ux recovery
High temperature operation – to 200° F
Low thermal coeffi cient of expansion– membrane pore size
stability
Backpulsing capable
Tolerance to pressure excursions
High concentrations possible
Favorable solids loading capability
