Cellulose Qualitative Filter Paper, Grade 06, 150mm, Folded, 3.0-5.0um, 100/Pk
GVS SKU: FP185DNS06QALC0F

Featuring a refined cellulose depth medium made from pure pulp and cotton linters, this Grade 06 qualitative filter paper delivers slow filtration with fine particle retention in the 3.0 to 5.0 micron range. Supplied as 150mm folded (pre-pleated) circles in packs of 100, the pleated format increases the effective filtration surface and loading capacity compared to flat circles, speeding routine funnel filtration. The high alpha-cellulose composition and low ash content support clean, reproducible separations across general laboratory work.

Key Cellulose Media Characteristics

• Made of refined pulp and pure cotton linters with an alpha-cellulose content of nearly 100% for consistent filtration performance.
• Ash content of less than 0.06%, supporting low-residue, reliable qualitative work.
• Slow filtration speed with 3.0 to 5.0 micron nominal particle retention for capturing fine precipitates.
• Hydrophilic structure wets readily with aqueous samples.
• Folded (pre-pleated) geometry increases surface area and loading capacity for faster throughput in a funnel.

Key Construction Characteristics

• Cellulose construction in a 150mm circle diameter.
• Folded (pleated) format for direct placement in analytical and conical funnels.
• Qualitative grade, nonsterile.
• Packaged 100 pieces per box.

This filter paper provides dependable clarification of cloudy suspensions and retention of fine precipitates where slow, thorough filtration is needed. The pleated format maintains high flow and loading capacity, helping preserve sample integrity through routine analytical and clarifying tasks.
