Material Purified and bleached cellulose, natural inorganic filter aids, polyamidoamine (< 3%). Free of plastic fibers and formaldehyde. The filter sheets are free of GMo and common allergens. Disposal uncontaminated sheets can be recycled like paper, composted or disposed with the domestic waste. Contaminated sheets must be disposed according to the contamination. Storage life and conditions Sheets should be stored in their original packaging in an odorless, dry and ventilated environment. We recommend to use the filter sheets within 36 months after purchase. options in applications of enzymes high cellulase activity cellulase resis tant filter sheets (Pat. pend.) are available. aF 15 or aF 71H are also available in a version with extra high zeta potential: aF 15S and aF 71S. The additional positive charge leads to a higher adsorption of negatively charged particles, such as dye molecules. For pharmaceutical applications we recommend our PuraFix sheets (low ion) or PuraFix P (low ion/low pyrogen) line. Please contact your local FiLTrox dealer.
