Test Methods Caution N = Not Resistant

The data presented in this chart is a compilation of testing by Pall Corporation with
certain chemicals, manufacturer’s data, or compatibility recommendations from the
Compass Corrosion Guide by Kenneth M. Pruett. This data is intended to provide
expected results when filtration devices are exposed to chemicals under static
conditions for 48 hours at 25 °C (77 °F), unless otherwise noted. Membrane
integrity for syringe filters was tested by bubble point.
This chart is intended only as a guide. Accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Users should
verify chemical compatibility with a specific filter under actual use conditions.
Because chemical compatibility is affected by many variables (including temperature,
pressure, concentration, and purity), various chemical combinations prevent
complete accuracy.
The membrane or housing is basically unstable and is not recommended for use.
Alcohol residues that are allowed to dry on a filter may cause stress cracks.
Pall Corporation recommends that filters used in alcohol processing should - = Insufficient Data
remain alcohol wet or should be flushed with copious quantities of water to Information is not available. Trial testing is recommended.
remove residuals prior to drying and subsequent reuse.
*Chemical compatibility refers to the base membrane. The effect of various
R = Resistant chemicals on the surface chemistry has not been tested.
No significant change was observed in flow rate or bubble point of the membrane.
No visible indication of chemical attack was detected.
L = Limited Resistance
Moderate changes in physical properties or dimensions of the membrane were
observed. The filter may be suitable for short term, non-critical use. Hardware
or housing may be suitable for short-term exposure at low pressures and ambient
temperatures.
