A new family of cartridge filters (photo) can increase production capacity and reduce the total filtration cost for high-purity chemicals used in semiconductor fabrication and other microelectronics-manufacturing processes. The new filter family incorporates this company’s proprietary expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) filtration media, allowing improved particle retention, higher flowrates and faster processing times. — W.L.
