Whatman cellulose filters are manufactured from high quality cotton linters which have been treated to achieve a minimum alpha cellulose content of 98%. These cellulose filter papers are used for general filtration and exhibit particle retention levels down to 2.5 µm. Whatman offers a wide choice of retention and flow rate combinations to suit numerous laboratory applications.
The different groups of cellulose filters offer increasing degrees of purity, hardness, and chemical resistance.
