Kleenpak™ Capsules with Emflon® PFR Membrane Description Pall Kleenpak™ filters combine the widest available range of filter media with specially designed self-contained assemblies, to satisfy the very highest standards of filtration security and user convenience. Emflon® PFR Filter Medium At the heart of every Kleenpak Emflon PFR Capsule filter is a high-performance pleated cartridge, containing proprietary PTFE membrane. The high-strength PTFE membrane is inherently hydrophobic, chemically inert, and designed specifically for removal of contaminating bacteria and viruses. Emflon PFR filters have a microbial removal rating of 0.2 µm in liquids and a particulate removal rating of 0.003 µm in gases. Emflon PFR filters meet the ever-increasing demand for air filters with greater strength and longer life. Clean and Robust Design The Kleenpak filter uses well-proven proprietary Pall techniques for filter construction and heat sealing. The highest possible security against filter bypass is ensured, even under conditions of pulsed flow High-strength design allows multiple autoclave cycles for extended use and maximum filter economy Polypropylene outer shell is designed to provide long-term assurance of pressure and temperature ratings A total absence of glues, binder resins and surfactants results in very low filter extractables and extremely clean filtrate High Quality Standards Every Pall Kleenpak filter is manufactured to a very high standard of quality assurance and cleanliness, and in accordance to a quality system accredited to ISO 9000. For pharmaceutical use, the P designation in the part number provides full traceability supported by a certificate of test.

Maximum Cumulative Steam Autoclave Time Up to 140 °C 50 hours Warning: Kleenpak filters must not be in situ steam sterilized by passing steam through under pressure. The figures are maximum allowable figures determined by testing under controlled laboratory conditions to the total number of hours indicated. Actual operating conditions may affect the filters long-term response to sterilization. Filters should be qualified for each process application. Operating Conditions1 Maximum Operating Temperature 40 °C Maximum Operating Pressure 3.5 barg (50 psig) Maximum Differential Pressure 3.5 bard (50 psid) 1In compatible fluids which do not soften, swell or adversely affect the filter or materials of construction. Filter Integrity Test Recommendation2 Water Intrusion Test KA2 and KA3 2KA1, KA2 and KA3 are also testable with Forward Flow test after wetting with suitable alcohol/water mixtures. Please contact Pall for test method parameters. Typical Air Flow Rates3 3Typical initial clean P, air at 20 °C. Values shown are for 38 mm (1 1⁄2 in.) sanitary flange connections. Values with other connections are available upon request. For gases other than air or nitrogen, contact your local Pall representative.
