Phenolic Resin-Bonded Acrylic Fiber Filter Cartridge Type “APK”

These Putsch® filter cartridges are manufactured using a special process that creates a solid matrix structure with graduated permeability. The “grooved” structure increases the surface area of the filter cartridge, ensuring a higher dirt-holding capacity. Additionally, it prevents particle release as the differential pressure increases.

The entire production of phenolic resin-bonded acrylic fiber filter cartridges is carried out without the use of silicones.

The properties of the synthetic phenolic resin binder make it ideal for use in challenging conditions such as high temperatures, high fluid viscosities, and high differential pressures.
