An innovative filter cartridge adapter for sealing cartridge filters into 222- and 226-style filter housings.
The nO-Ring® seal is an innovative adapter for sealing cartridge filters into 222- and 226-style filter housings. The patented nO-Ring® design provides the security of a double O-ring seal without the use of elastomeric O-rings. This seal is ideal for use in critical pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and chemical applications, which would otherwise require the use of expensive, fluoropolymeric or perfluoroelastomeric O-rings. Typical applications include filtration of high purity chemicals, such as ultrapure and DI water, acids, bases, solvents, photochemicals, developers, etchants, and rinses.
The patented nO-Ring® design eliminates the need to select and use expensive, chemically resistant O-rings for aggressive chemical or solvent applications. This reduces material costs for each batch or process line. By eliminating the extra O-ring materials, total filter extractables are reduced. Filter installation and removal concerns associated with O-ring durometer and/or deterioration in service are also eliminated.
Design Features
- All-polypropylene construction provides wide chemical compatibility while reducing total filter extractables
- Unique adapter design easily distinguishes nO-Ring® cartridges from other cartridges, which may have identically colored and textured o-rings but differing chemical compatibilities
- Media options include: STyLUX® or EverLUX® PES, SteriLUX® or Steridyne® PVDF, Ultradyne® PTFE; ALpHA® and Vangard® PP microfiber, Protec® glass microfiber, DeltaMax® and DeltaDepth® PP depth media
