Sterlitech Corporation Acquires Silver Metal Membrane Business

Kent, Washington (May 10, 2001) -- Sterlitech Corporation, a Washington State company, announced today that it acquired the Silver Metal Membrane product line from Osmonics, Inc (NYSE:OSM).

“We are very excited to add Silver Metal Membranes to our product mix,” said Mark Spatz, President of Sterlitech Corporation; “There is an excellent customer base and huge market potential for Silver Membranes.”

Silver Metal Membranes are pure metallic silver (99.97% pure silver) and are available with absolute particle retention ratings from 0.2 to 5.0 microns.  The membranes are used in a variety of filtration applications.  NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) specifies the use of the membrane in their standards for the appraisal of asbestos contamination.  In addition Silver Membranes are used for analysis of crystalline and amorphous silica, lead sulfide, and boron carbide for their excellence as an x-ray diffraction substrate.  These unique membranes have the ability to withstand extreme thermal stress, making them ideal for applications involving aggressive fluids, solvents, and high temperatures.  

Sterlitech Corporation is one of the largest manufacturers of inorganic membranes in the world.   For more information about Sterlitech, call (877) 544-4420 or (253) 437-0844, write 22027 70^th Avenue S, Kent, WA 98032-1911 USA, or visit our web site at www.sterlitech.com.
