Guardian® DEV and Guardian Plus HPM Cartridge Filters
High retention, hydrophilic UPE membrane filters for KOH and TMAH based developer solutions and other high pH chemical filtration applications
High retention, hydrophilic UPE membrane filters for KOH and TMAH based developer solutions and other high pH chemical filtration applications
● Hydrophilic UPE membrane: Superior wettability eliminates prewetting and flushing steps, saving time at changeout. Does not dewet in outgassing fluids, increasing equipment uptime.
● Available in retention ratings of 0.05 and 0.1 µm: Multiple retention ratings cover a broad scope of process requirements
● Large membrane surface area: Enables high flow rates in chemical delivery systems, while maintaining excellent ultrafine particle retention and longer lifetime
● Polyethylene construction: Provides excellent chemical compatibility and long lifetime in a cost-effective device
