Major applications for membranes

The application fields for FOLIPOR track membranes is determined by the assured functional capability to capture at the surface particles which have dimensions above the nominal value of pore diameter. Nominal diameters for FOLIPOR track membranes are 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 2, 3 (µm).

For a general description of the filtration capabilities of FOLIPOR membranes the typical sizes of different microparticles are presented below.
