UltiporĀ® GF Plus filters have a pleated high area construction for long service life. The medium uses a binder resin which coats the glass fibers, imparting a positive zeta potential in aqueous service. The resin also bonds the glass fibers to polyester substrate, producing a rugged composite medium. Applications for such filters are numerous as most suspensions are negatively charged in aqueous solution, including not only particles but bacteria and viruses.
Ultipor GF Plus filters have a fixed pore construction which precludes unloading or media migration.
