Nylon FAQ
Do you need a Chemical Compatibility Chart?
We have a Chemical Compatibility Chart that you can use for reference.
What grade of nylon is used to manufacture the Sterlitech nylon membrane filters?
The Sterlitech nylon membrane filters are constructed of nylon 66 polymer. Nylon 66 in inherently hydrophilic, nontoxic, and has good resistance to organic solvents. These membrane filters also have an integral nonwoven polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) support layer. When evaluating application compatibility, both materials should be considered.
What are the advantages of Nylon membrane filters?
Nylon Membranes exhibit high protein binding, solvent resistance, and dimensional stability due to support by inert polyester.
