Qualitative Grade 3 Filter Papers

Qualitative Grade 3 Filter Papers are double the thickness of Grade 1 cellulose filter paper, this Grade 3 is typically used in qualitative analytical techniques to help determine materials in a sample. This grade has a finer particle retention and superb loading capacity thanks to the extra thickness. This allows more precipitate to be held without clogging up the filtering system. A high absorbency in this grade is particularly useful when the paper is used as a sample carrier.

The extra thickness provides added wet strength, conforming and compatible to Büchner funnels. Diameters for this grade of cellulose filter paper range from 5.5cm to 32 cm. Besides it functionality and ability to retain particles, the filters are extremely tough---molded from polypropylene with an integral, heat bonded filter.

When determining a filter with the appropriate properties for specific applications, there are many factors that contribute to finding the best filter available for the job. Whether it is liquid flow rate, loading capacity, airborne particle retention, or ash content, provides the filtering method suitable for research application. Grade 3 filters exhibit particle retention levels down to 6 µm.

Key Features

• Polypropylene made filter that is heat bonded
• Double the thickness of Grade 1 filters, providing for more precipitate build-up
• Extra thickness makes for added wet strength and outstanding particle retention
