Technical content

  • No IPA pre-wetting and system flushing required — avoids a potential source of contamination and chemical interaction, while reducing downtime and hazardous waste disposal
  • Reduces potential for microbubble formation by not dewetting in outgassing fluid unlike hydrophobic membranes such as Polypropylene, Polyethylene, and PTFE
  • Enhanced contaminant reduction capacity results in longer lifetime than competitive filter cartridges
  • Economic alternative to PTFE filter cartridges Advanced Pleat Technology
  • Superior flow characteristics in a compact design reduces the number of require filter elements
  • Increased flow rates provide faster bath clean-up and reduced energy consumption
  • Provides a low differential pressure to minimize micro-bubble formation
  • Increased throughput and filter lifetime which lowers cost-of-ownership LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridge LifeASSURE™ IMC filter cartridges are high efficiency naturally hydrophilic Nylon 6,6 filter elements designed to meet the exacting requirements of DI water, critical parts cleaning, and chemical applications. Utilizing multi-zone microporous membrane and Advanced Pleat Technology (APT), LifeASSURE IMC filter cartridges provide superior flow characteristics with minimal pressure drop. Increasing flow while maintaining filter efficiency results in particle specifications being achieved in less time. This decrease in processing time results in lower total filtration costs — reduced energy consumption, pump wear, and labor. The naturally hydrophilic Nylon 6,6 membrane in an all polypropylene construction, provides low extractables, increased filter life, and superior contaminant reduction as compared to other membrane cartridges. LifeASSURE IMC filter cartridges are ideally suited for DI water, critical parts cleaning, and numerous chemical applications where high efficiency contaminant reduction at 0.1 μm, 0.2 μm and 0.45 μm is required. Multi-zone Microporous Membrane Technology LifeASSURE IMC filter cartridges incorporate 3M Purification’s multi-zone microporous membrane technology to maximize contaminant holding capacity while maintaining particle reduction efficiency. Microporous membrane consists of a higher porosity (more open) zone on the up stream section and a lower porosity (tighter) section on the down stream side. The higher porosity zone on the up stream side provides effective pre- filtration of large particles resulting in higher contaminant reduction capacity and increased filter life time. The lower porosity zone on the down stream section provides a sharp retention cut-off at the rated pore size. As shown in SEM micro graph (Figure 1) the multi-zone structure enhances the surface area, lowers pressure drop, and increases contaminant holding capacity and filter lifetime thereby eliminating the need for more costly filters constructed with a double layer of membrane.

LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridge Chart 2. 10 in. Cartridge Typical Water Flow Rates LifeASSURE™ IMC Cartridge Construction LifeASSURE™ IMC filter cartridges are constructed of high efficiency, naturally hydrophilic, single layer Nylon 6,6 membrane. The cage, core, end caps, and membrane supports are made of polypropylene. No adhesives, binders, or surfactants are used in the manufacturing process. Cartridges are manufactured and bagged in a clean environment under an ISO certified quality system using advanced thermosplastic welding techniques to ensure filter integrity out of the package. 0.5 0.10 0.05 Flow Rate (gpm) @ 77°F (25°C) Flow Rate (lpm) @ 77°F (25°C) Differential Pressure (psid) Differential Pressure (bar)0 1.5 2 4 6 8 100 IMC 020IMC 045 IMC 065 IMC 080 IMC 010 0 5 10 15 20 30 3525 0.15 Cartridge Component Membrane Multi-Zone Microporous Naturally Hydrophilic Nylon 6,6 Cage, Core, End-Caps, and Media Support Layers Polypropylene Cartridge Dimensions Filtration Surface Area 10 in. element* = 11.0 ft.2 (1.02m2) Nominal Outside Diameter 2-3/4 in.
