Enhanced contaminant reduction. Reduced filtration costs.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridge

Enhanced contaminant reduction. Reduced filtration costs.
3M™ LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridges feature a naturally hydrophilic Nylon 6,6 membrane with polypropylene components which provides low extractables, increased filter life and superior contaminant reduction for industrial filtration. These filters are ideally suited for DI water, critical parts cleaning and numerous chemical applications where high-efficiency contaminant reduction at 0.1, 0.2 and 0.45 μm is required.

Advanced Pleat Technology (APT).

Advanced Pleat Technology (APT).

The 3M™ LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridge is manufactured using a continuously variable pleat height configuration, which utilizes the open space between the outside pleats. This novel technology maximizes capacity by increasing the filtration area which allows for greater particle loading. The result is a fully used surface area that provides increased filter life.

Users can integrity test 3M™ LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridges for bubble point, diffusive flow or pressure hold procedures while the filters are in the housing to ensure proper installation and operation.

Lower total industrial filtration costs.

Less energy consumption, filter wear and labor results in a reduced cost of ownership over time.

3M™ LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridges incorporate 3M multi-zone microporous membrane technology. This design features a microporous membrane consisting of a higher porosity zone on the upstream section that provides effective pre-filtration of large particles while a lower porosity section on the downstream side provides a sharp retention cut-off at the rated pore size. This efficient multi-zone structure enhances the surface area, lowers pressure drop and increases contaminant holding capacity and filter lifetime, thereby eliminating the need for multiple filters to achieve the same result.

For existing applications at a given flow rate, filter cartridges with more surface area per cartridge have a lower flux than ones with less surface area. Since filter lifetime is inversely proportional to flux in most applications, 3M™ LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridges provide longer life and require fewer cartridge change-outs.

A high flow rate and constant pressure drop of 3M™ LifeASSURE™ IMC Series Filter Cartridges will also help reduce industrial filtration costs since fewer filters are required for the filtration system. This allows for the use of smaller and less costly filter housings, reducing initial capital investment, filter change-out time and total cost of ownership for the life of the process.

  • No IPA pre-wetting required, which avoids a potential source of contamination and chemical interaction, while reducing downtime and hazardous waste disposal
  • Reduces potential for micro-bubble formation by not de-wetting in outgassing fluid unlike hydrophobic membranes such as Polypropylene, Polyethylene or PTFE
  • Enhanced contaminant reduction capacity results in longer filter life than competing filter cartridges
  • Economic alternative to PTFE filter cartridges when compatible
  • Superior flow characteristics in a compact design reduces the number of required filter elements
  • Increased flow rates provide faster bath clean-up and reduced energy consumption
  • Provides a low differential pressure to minimize micro bubble formation
  • Increased throughput and filter lifetime lowers cost of ownership

LifeASSURE™ IMC

LifeASSURE™ IMC filter cartridges are high efficiency naturally hydrophilic Nylon 6,6 filter elements designed to meet the exacting requirements of DI water, critical parts cleaning, and chemical applications. Utilizing multi-zone microporous membrane and Advanced Pleat Technology (APT), LifeASSURE IMC filter cartridges provide superior flow characteristics with minimal pressure drop. Increasing flow while maintaining filter efficiency results in particle specifications being achieved in less time. This decrease in processing time results in lower total filtration costs — reduced energy consumption, pump wear, and labor.
