Filter paper for quantitative analysis FILTER-LAB® are made under the strictest requirements of quality not only of the raw materials used but also of the conditions in which the production processes take place.
For its manufacture we use cellulose fibers and very pure cotton linters whose content in alpha cellulose is virtually 100%. At any rate, the cellulose fibers its natural state contain small quantities of organic and inorganic impurities. It is because of this that these paper filter papers require a special production process.
Once the filter paper is manufactured in the desired physical conditions (weight in grams, thickness, speed filtration, etc.) a washing process with acids is initiated (generally HF and HCI) which concludes with a final cleaning with demineralized water. We get two important properties in the process as the high resistance to the moist state and the ash content is less than 0.01%.
Because all of this, these filters are specially suitable for filtration with Büchner funnels in quantitative analyses since they meet the requirements of international standards with regard to ash content.
This range is formed by 7 qualities with different filtration and retention:
