Grade CFP41a

 

This quantitative cellulose filter paper is primarily used in air monitoring applications and gravimetric analysis procedures. They perform separations by entrapping particulate within the random matrix of cellulose fibers within the depth of the media.  This media family is also widely used in methods to prepare samples for further testing using many types of instrumentation. Due to the hardened surface, this material is suited for smear and wipe applications as well.  

These ashless filter papers are manufactured from refined pulp and linters. They are acid washed and have an extremely low ash content of <0.01%.

Capabilities

Tremont offers an impressive list of manufacturing capabilities and expertise in glass microfiber and cellulose filter media.  We leverage a longstanding and contractual relationship between several mills to put 6 papermaking machines and formers into production.  With this enormous capacity at our disposal, we are able to take a project from lab bench through pilot scale and ultimately full production with ease.

Our partner mill output exceeds 120 grade variants manufactured in the USA and internationally.   With chemists and scientists of several disciplines, experienced papermakers, the finest controls-on-machine plus a rigorous QA protocol, it is not often a project challenge is beyond our capability.
