Featuring a refined cellulose depth medium made of pure cotton linters with an alpha-cellulose content of virtually 100%, this Grade 44 quantitative ashless filter paper delivers fine particle retention for critical gravimetric work. Each 125mm circle provides a slow-flow filtration characteristic with a 2 to 4 um nominal retention range, a nominal thickness of 160 um, and a nominal basis weight of 85 g/m2. With an ash content of less than 0.007%, the paper minimizes residual mass and supports accurate ash-free dry weight determinations.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
