Applications

• Educational labs and training environments
• Filtration of chemical precipitates in industrial settings
• Acidic or alkaline sample filtration
• Use with Buchner funnels for vacuum filtration
• Applications requiring post-filtration residue recovery

General

Wet-strengthened filter papers are manufactured from a majority of alpha-cellulose. The smooth surface allows for fibre-free filtration. They feature a high wet strength and can also be used in the filtration of strong alkaline or acid solutions. Due to their high mechanical strength, they are suited to applications where the residue is removed from the filter, for example with a spatula or a jet of water.

Grade 322: is a medium-filtering wet-strengthened paper with reliable retention and mechanical durability. Commonly used in student laboratories, it also performs well in general-purpose applications requiring robust handling. Its strength makes it particularly suitable for use in Buchner funnels and for filtering precipitates such as barium carbonate, lead chromate, and beryllium hydroxide.

Application: Economical filter paper used in schools and as bench protective paper
