Frequently asked questions

Membrane filters act as surface barriers, capturing particles on the surface with high precision. Depth media, on the other hand, trap contaminants throughout the filter’s thickness, making them ideal for high-load or prefiltration stages.

Yes, many filter media are versatile across industries. For example, PES and Nylon membranes are suitable for both pharmaceutical-grade sterile filtration and beverage clarification, depending on format and pore size. 

Yes, all DANMIL filter media are manufactured under strict quality controls and meet global regulatory requirements, including FDA, USP Class VI, and EU food contact standards, ensuring safe use in pharmaceutical, food, and beverage applications.
