Microporous PVC - New Membrane Material for Application in Microfiltration
Membrane filtration is an established technology for treatment of industrial sewage and process chemicals. However, separation of particles and colloids from chemically aggressive substances remains a challenging task for the applied filter materials. Particular for separation tasks in the range of strong acidic and strong alkaline hot solutions a new filter membrane was developed utilizing chemical resistance of PVC. The microporous membrane can be produced in a continuous roll to roll process on common production lines for polymer processing.
