Polypropylene (PP) FAQ

The polypropylene membrane is hydrophobic and typically has a water contact angle of about 100deg or more.

Sterlitech polypropylene (PP) membrane filters maybe sterilized using compatible chemical agents such as ethylene oxide (EtO) or formalin.

PP Membranes exhibit good hydrophobicity and can be considered in applications that don't require the chemical compatability of PTFE. 

Q. What is the thickness of the polypropylene membranes?

A. The thicknesses of our polypropylene membranes are:

  • 0.1um polypropylene: 75-110um
  • 0.2um polypropylene: 140-180um
  • 0.45um polypropylene: 140-180um
