Versapor™ 1200RC 1.2 µm 0.438"
Versapor™ RC membranes have been designed for medical venting applications requiring particle, bacterial, and viral removal.
• Available in a range of pore sizes to match your retention and flow rate requirements.
• In venting applications, every grade enables safe gas exchange in closed systems while serving as a hydrophobic barrier to liquids.
• These hydrophobic and oleophobic membranes reduce the risk of aerosol contamination, offering protection from airborne contaminants to patients, workers, and equipment.
• The non-woven internal support results in high tensile strength and dimensional stability allowing compatibility with different manufacturing processes.
• These bidirectional materials are compatible with the following sealing methods: adhesive, heat, mechanical, radio frequency, and ultrasonic.
• Versapor™ RC membranes demonstrate consistent performance over a broad range of operating conditions and sterilization methods, such as gamma, ethylene oxide, and steam.
• The wide chemical and temperature compatibility and compliance with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Biological Reactivity Tests, In Vivo <88> for biosafety ensures robust performance in critical venting applications.
Custom roll, sheet, and disc sizes available upon request. Please contact your local sales representative for additional information.
