Description
Polygard®-CR products are nominally rated filters designed for particle removal applications in liquids and gases. The graded-density depth structure of Polygard-CR filter media provides maximum filtration capacity, and the all-polypropylene construction offers low extractables levels and broad chemical compatibility.
Opticap XL capsule filters eliminate the time and expense associated with assembling, cleaning, and validating stainless steel housings. The capsule patented design allows unparalleled thermal and hydraulic stress resistance, resulting in reliability, high confidence in the sterility process and improved cleanliness. The unique capsule design with Polygard-CR media minimizes hold-up volume and reduces production losses.
Regulatory Compliance
Polygard-CR filters are designed, developed, and manufactured in accordance with a Quality Management System approved by an accredited registering body to an ISO® 9000 Quality Systems Standard and are shipped with a Certificate of Quality. Each Opticap™ XL capsule filter is supported by a Validation Guide for compliance with regulatory requirements.
For traceability and easy identification, each filter is marked with identifying characteristics.
Multiple Formats Available
Opticap XL disposable capsule filters with Polygard-CR media are available in multiple filtration sizes, providing an optimal choice for every application.
