About this grade

What it is.

A filter sheet has to stay intact wet. This grade is specified for wet tensile strength as well as dry, because the working figure is the one that applies once the medium is in contact with liquid. Porosity and air permeability are what set the filtration rate.

Typical light construction runs around 12.5 g/m² at roughly 40 µm thickness, with porosity near 247 µm and air permeability near 1 677 L/m²·s. Testing follows ISO methods — ISO 536 for grammage, ISO 1924-2 and ISO 3781 for dry and wet tensile, ISO 1974 for tear, ISO 9237 for air permeability and ISO 2470 for brightness.

Typical applications — Media filtration; tea and beverage infusion papers in heat-seal and non-heat-seal forms
