Deep-Layer PP Wire-Wound Filter Cartridge: Electronic Ultrapure Water System Front-End Security Filter Cartridge

Product Introduction

This Deep-Layer PP Wire-Wound Filter Cartridge is a professional high-efficiency front-end security filtration component custom-engineered for electronic ultrapure water systems, manufactured with high-purity electronic-grade polypropylene (PP) wire as the core raw material and adopting advanced multi-gradient deep-layer spiral winding technology. Tailored to the stringent front-end pre-filtration requirements of electronic ultrapure water systems (for semiconductor, PCB, photovoltaic and microelectronic manufacturing), it is specially designed for the security filtration link before core purification units such as reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF) and electrodeionization (EDI). The deep-layer PP wire-wound structure forms a three-dimensional gradient filtration matrix, which realizes step-by-step interception of impurities from large to small particles, and the all-electronic-grade PP integral structure features low extractables, no material shedding, excellent chemical compatibility and absolute non-toxicity, without secondary pollution to the raw water of ultrapure water systems. It efficiently removes suspended solids, colloidal particles, rust slag, micro-particles and other insoluble impurities in the front-end raw water of electronic ultrapure water systems, protects the high-value core membrane components and EDI modules from impurity wear, blockage and irreversible pollution, ensures the stable and efficient operation of the entire electronic ultrapure water system, and lays a solid foundation for the production of ultrapure water meeting the electronic manufacturing grade (resistivity ≥18.2 MΩ·cm). As a key front-end security filter element, it effectively extends the service life of core purification equipment and reduces the overall operation and maintenance cost of the ultrapure water system.

Filtration Precision

The Deep-Layer PP Wire-Wound Filter Cartridge is optimized for the front-end security filtration demand of electronic ultrapure water systems, with standard high-precision filtration precision grades covering 1 μm to 20 μm, including the core specifications of 5 μm, 10 μm and 20 μm that are most widely used in electronic ultrapure water front-end pre-filtration. The multi-gradient deep-layer winding design forms a graded filtration structure with large pore size on the outside and small pore size on the inside, which can realize targeted step-by-step interception of different particle size insoluble impurities in the raw water—from large suspended solids and rust slag to fine colloidal particles and micro-powder impurities. Adopting a precise winding process with electronic-grade ultra-fine PP wire, the filter layer has a highly consistent pore size distribution without pinhole, channeling or dead zone defects, thoroughly removing all insoluble particulate impurities larger than the rated precision in the front-end raw water of the ultrapure water system. This stable and high-precision filtration performance ensures that the raw water entering the RO/NF/EDI core units meets the strict inlet water impurity control standards, fundamentally eliminating the risk of core purification components being damaged by particulate impurities.

Flux

Benefiting from the unique multi-gradient deep-layer winding structure, large three-dimensional effective filtration area, high-permeability electronic-grade PP raw material and scientific pore size gradient distribution design, this filter cartridge exhibits excellent and stable high-flux performance under the front-end security filtration working condition of electronic ultrapure water systems. Under the standard operating conditions of 25℃ and 0.2MPa inlet pressure, the initial pure water flux of a single cartridge reaches 80-140 L/m²·h, and the actual stable working flux for the front-end raw water security filtration of electronic ultrapure water systems remains at 50-90 L/m²·h for a long time. The deep-layer three-dimensional filtration matrix effectively avoids the surface blockage of the filter layer, and the flux attenuation rate is extremely low even in the long-term filtration of raw water with a certain content of suspended solids. This high-flux and low-attenuation performance can fully match the water supply flow demand of medium and large-scale electronic ultrapure water systems, ensure the unobstructed front-end water supply of the system, and avoid the reduction of ultrapure water production efficiency caused by insufficient filtration flux of the front-end security filter.

Salt Rejection Rate

As a dedicated front-end security filtration component for electronic ultrapure water systems, this Deep-Layer PP Wire-Wound Filter Cartridge is designed for the efficient interception of insoluble particulate impurities, suspended solids and macromolecular colloids in raw water, and does not have the ion separation, desalination or soluble substance rejection function of RO/NF membrane components. Its salt rejection rate is 0%, which means it only retains insoluble solid impurities in the front-end raw water while allowing all soluble inorganic salt ions, small molecular weight organic substances and water molecules to pass through the filter layer smoothly. This characteristic is fully in line with the core demand of electronic ultrapure water system front-end security filtration, which only needs to remove insoluble particulate impurities for the protection of core purification units, and the soluble salt ions and other impurities are left to be removed by the subsequent RO/NF/EDI core purification processes, realizing the rational division of labor and efficient matching of the whole ultrapure water purification system.

Pressure Drop

The product is specially designed with an ultra-low pressure drop optimization structure for the front-end security filtration of electronic ultrapure water systems, fully considering the pressure loss control requirements of the whole water supply system and the working pressure range of core purification units such as RO membranes. The multi-gradient deep-layer winding structure and scientific pore size distribution effectively reduce the liquid flow resistance, and the high-permeability electronic-grade PP wire material further improves the water passing performance of the filter layer. Under the rated working flux and standard temperature conditions, the initial pressure drop of a single filter cartridge is only 0.008-0.025 MPa, which minimizes the raw water flow resistance in the front-end security filtration link, effectively reduces the load and energy consumption of the ultrapure water system’s water supply pump and high-pressure pump, and ensures the stable working pressure of the entire ultrapure water purification system. During long-term continuous use, due to the three-dimensional deep-layer impurity interception characteristic and high impurity-holding capacity of the filter layer, the pressure drop of the cartridge rises slowly and linearly; the maximum allowable operating pressure drop is 0.12 MPa. When the system pressure drop reaches this value, replacement is recommended in a timely manner to avoid the impact of excessive pressure loss on the normal water supply of the ultrapure water system and the working efficiency of core purification units.

Molecular Weight Cutoff (MWCO)

This Deep-Layer PP Wire-Wound Filter Cartridge has a precise and targeted molecular weight cutoff range of 50,000 to 250,000 Daltons, which is specially calibrated for the front-end security filtration demand of electronic ultrapure water systems. It can effectively intercept macromolecular substances in the raw water such as colloidal silicon dioxide, humic acid macromolecular aggregates, metal hydroxide macromolecular flocs, polymer organic colloids and suspended solid macromolecular aggregates that may cause pollution and blockage to RO/NF membranes and EDI modules. The strict and reasonable MWCO control ensures that small molecular weight inorganic salt ions, water molecules and low molecular weight organic substances pass through the filter layer smoothly while realizing the efficient interception of all harmful macromolecular insoluble impurities, and provides reliable molecular-level impurity protection for the core purification components of electronic ultrapure water systems.

Membrane Thickness

The electronic-grade PP wire-wound filter layer of this deep-layer filter cartridge adopts a multi-gradient three-dimensional deep-layer spiral winding design with a uniform total effective filter layer thickness of 100-180 μm, and the diameter of the electronic-grade PP wire is precisely controlled in a gradient from 0.2-0.35 mm (outer layer) to 0.08-0.15 mm (inner layer) to form the graded pore size filtration structure of large outside and small inside. The inner and outer sides of the deep-layer filter layer are equipped with high-density, low-resistance, anti-shedding electronic-grade PP mesh protective layers with a thickness of 70-90 μm each, which can effectively fix the deep-layer winding structure and prevent the filter layer from being damaged by the raw water flow impact. The inner skeleton is a reinforced electronic-grade PP support structure with high rigidity, low extractables, excellent pressure resistance and uniform water distribution performance, which ensures the structural stability of the deep-layer filter layer under long-term water pressure and avoids the collapse of the filter layer affecting the filtration effect. The gradient thickness and three-dimensional deep-layer design not only ensure the high-precision impurity interception performance and sufficient mechanical strength of the cartridge, but also maximize the effective impurity-holding space and improve the permeability of the filter layer. The electronic-grade PP raw material and precise gradient winding process ensure that the filter layer has no fiber shedding, material dissolution or deformation in the raw water for a long time, avoiding secondary pollution to the ultrapure water system raw water and meeting the strict front-end security filtration requirements of electronic ultrapure water manufacturing.

Replacement Cycle

Under the normal operating conditions of electronic ultrapure water system front-end security filtration (raw water turbidity ≤5 NTU, suspended solid content ≤10 mg/L, 24-hour continuous stable filtration, regular mild backwashing with filtered water), the recommended replacement cycle of this Deep-Layer PP Wire-Wound Filter Cartridge is 3-6 months. If the raw water quality of the ultrapure water system is poor (turbidity >5 NTU, high suspended solid content) or the ultrapure water production load is high (such as mass production of semiconductors, high-efficiency photovoltaic cells and fine-line PCBs), the replacement cycle should be appropriately shortened to 1-3 months. In addition, when the pressure drop of the front-end security filtration link reaches the maximum allowable value of 0.12 MPa, or the filtration flux decreases significantly and cannot be restored after backwashing, or the filter layer is damaged by large particle impurities, the filter cartridge should be replaced immediately to ensure the security filtration effect of the ultrapure water system front-end, protect the core purification components and avoid the reduction of ultrapure water production quality and efficiency.
