The BPVWBX Capsule Filter features a single-layer, hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane designed for bioburden control in air, gas, and non-aqueous liquid applications. With the chemical resistance of a fluoropolymer and a high-capacity structure, this filter excels in tank venting, compressed air lines, and solvent filtration.

Available in pore sizes from 0.22 to 1.0 µm, the BPVWBX provides high flow, long life, and consistent performance across a range of demanding environments. Each capsule is flushed to minimize extractables and is integrity tested for critical process reliability.

Key Features:

• Hydrophobic PVDF Membrane: Ideal for gas filtration, solvent handling, and tank vent applications.

• Broad Chemical Compatibility: Resistant to aggressive solvents and non-aqueous solutions.

• High Throughput Design: Optimized for flow efficiency and long service life.

• Low Extractables: Ensures clean, reliable operation in sensitive processes.

• Regulatory Compliance: FDA and USP Class VI compliant; non-fiber releasing per 21 CFR 210.3(b)(6) and 211.72.

• Pre-Sterilized Availability: Ready for critical-use applications where cleanliness and integrity are paramount.

• Scalable Across Sizes: Same materials used from lab-scale capsules to full production systems.
