Filtration Performance of Permanently Hydrophilized Polyethylene Membranes

Lydall Performance Materials has developed a new generation of hydrophilic Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMwPE) membranes (Nylopor™ membranes and Evopor™ membranes) tailored for high purity filtration applications. These membranes show excellent hydrophilicity and durability combined with a low level of extractables, and show no evidence of cell lysis or toxicity. This white paper outlines the testing of these membranes and their possible applications.
