A melt-blown filter cartridge is a type of depth filtration system crafted by thermally bonding melt-blown polypropylene (PP) fibers into a gradient structure. It’s popular in water filtration systems—especially as a first-stage or pre-filter—thanks to its efficiency and versatility.
High filtration efficiency: Captures particles as small as 0.1–1 micron, making it ideal for fine sediment removal and RO prefiltration
Excellent dirt-holding capacity: Gradient structure allows it to retain a lot of debris before clogging
Chemical resistance & purity: Made from 100% polypropylene with no binders or adhesives—resists many chemicals and is FDA-grade safe for food, beverage
Durability: Withstands a range of temperatures and pressures, offering a long service life and low replacement costs
Low pressure drop: Maintains efficient flow due to uniform pore distribution
Various forms: Available as flat, grooved, or embossed cartridges—grooved versions increase surface area and enhance lifespan
Water filtration systems: Whole-house pre-filtration, RO systems, drinking water treatment
Industrial & commercial use: Including pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, chemicals, electronics, power, and oil & gas sectors
Filtration Type: Depth filtration via melt-blown PP fibers.
Efficiency: Excellent—captures very fine particles (down to 0.1–1 µm).
Dirt Capacity: High, thanks to gradient layering.
Durability & Safety: Robust chemical resistance; no binders; FDA-compliant.
Performance: Efficient flow (low pressure drop); suitable across varied industries.
Variations: Available in flat, grooved, embossed forms to optimize performance.
Ideal For: Pre-filtration in water systems, industrial filtration, and sensitive applications.
