MC - Single Use Capsule Filters
MasterCap MC capsule filters are used for removal of micro-organisms and fine particles from liquids. Made of polypropylene and high-performance filtration media such as PES, PVDF, polypropylene and glass fiber. They are the ideal filters to satisfy the highest standards in a broad range of applications. It is especially designed for self-contained assemblies in pharmaceutical, microelectronics and food and beverage. No adhesives or glue are used in manufacturing and all bonding is by thermal welding. MasterCap MC capsules are available in the 2 versions.
