Depth filters use PP melt-blown or fiber-wound construction to build a graded-density structure — coarser fibers on the outer layer trap larger particles, finer fibers in the inner core capture sub-micron particles — distributing contaminants throughout the entire media thickness. This delivers 5–20× the dirt-holding capacity of surface (membrane) filters, making depth filters the preferred choice for high-flow pre-filtration.
JIUNYUAN depth filters are offered in two grades: Semi-Grade (semiconductor-grade) and General Industrial. The Semi-Grade line uses low-extractable PP resin, is produced in Class 100 environments, and is qualified by low-TOC and low metallic-ion release testing — meeting semiconductor UPW, CMP, PVA brush clean and POU requirements. The general industrial line covers retentions from 0.5μm to 100μm, delivering reliable high-flow pre-filtration at the lowest total cost of ownership.
Typical applications: semiconductor UPW pre-filtration, CMP slurry POU filtration, PVA brush clean fluids in display fabs, pharmaceutical purified water pre-filtration, chemical reactor feed clarification, electroplating bath pre-filtration, and RO membrane protection.
