Sterlitech offers new hydrophilic PAN nanofiber membrane to filtration field; process uses electrospinning to create mesh




KENT, WA, July 1, 2015-

With its latest polyacrylonitrile (PAN) membrane, Sterlitech Corporation offers a hydrophilic filter that does not sacrifice selectivity to achieve faster flow rates in comparison to nylon or polyethersulfone (PES). Its unique nanofiber mesh construction combines extremely fine pores with significant open space to allow easy liquid flow while trapping particulates as small as 0.2 micron in width.

"This technology is already in use for water filtration in applications where low energy is required," said Sterlitech President Mark Spatz. "We are excited to introduce this technology at Sterlitech because we know it has a place in laboratories or small-batch processes where its uniquely high flux is an asset."
