Sparks-Poly cartridges are manufactured from 100% polypropylene media and are designed for the microfiltration of gases and liquids.

Sparks-Poly cartridges provide high dirt holding capacity and the capacity to retain a wide range of particle sizes around the rated pore size. Sparks-Poly cartridges exhibit the characteristics of quality depth filters intended for use by industry as final filters. However, in critical applications requiring a precise pattern of particle retention at sub-micron levels, Sparks-Poly cartridges can be used as pre-filters to protect membrane cartridges.

APPLICATIONS: Semi-conductors Industry:Installed as pre-filters upstream of Reverse Osmosis and Deionized water systems, In the pure water supply for filtration of process acids and alkalis including filtration of gas and air for blow drying. Chemical Industry:Batch filtration of high grade chemicals and reagents, filtration of chemical effluents prior to disposal. Industrial Gas Industry:Filtration of industrial gases. Sensitized Film Industry:Filtration of photographic emulsions and the processing of metallic oxide for magnetic tape and disc coating. Electroplating Industry:Filtration of electroplating bath solutions to improve plating quality; Restoration of plating solutions including the recovery of precious metals. Coating and Printing Industry:Filtration of paint prior to recovery by R.O. systems on electro-deposition paint lines; Filtration of water based inks for high speed ink jet and spray printers

Sparks-Poly cartridges contain a multi-layer polypropylene filtration media, support media and heavy duty outer jacket. The spun bonded media reduces media migration and provides high flow rates with low pressure drop. Cartridge integrity is insured by fusion bonding of all components. Fusion bonding eliminates the need for glues, resins or bonding agents maintaining a low level of extractables. Sparks-Poly cartridges are available in single or multiple lengths of 10'', 20", 30." and 40", and in a range of micron sizes from 1 to 50 microns. Sparks-Poly cartridges, furnished with a wide range of end caps, gaskets and O-rings, are designed to fit existing filter housings without modifications. Each cartridge is furnished complete with all necessary gaskets or O-rings as required.

Sparks-Poly cartridges have been designed to meet the increasing demands of technology for the fine filtration of gases and liquids, and as a final filter for aqueous solutions or aggressive chemicals.

Sparks-Poly cartridges are manufactured in a class 10,000 clean room, to the quality standards of ISO 9001. Each Sparks-Poly cartridge is batch identified so that users can maintain their own process and quality control records.
