1 CRITICAL MATERIALS HANDLING MICROGARD LIQUID FILTERS UPE and nylon liquid filters delivering superior cleanliness and high retention capabilities and eliminating potential sources of contamination in bulk chemical systems Overview Microgard filters deliver high-purity solutions for bulk chemicals and bulk chemical distribution systems, and eliminate potential sources of contamination by removing particles and gels at the start of the process. Manufactured in a world-class cleanroom environment, Microgard filters ensure better initial cleanliness, lower contaminant extractables than polypropylene (PP), and higher chemical compatibility in solvents than polysulfone (PS) or polyethersulfone (PES) membranes. Choice of UPE or Nylon Membranes Microgard filters are constructed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UPE) or nylon membranes, depending on the filter. The UPE membrane, utilized in Microgard Plus, Microgard Plus LE, Microgard UPE and Microgard UPX, promotes high-purity photochemical filtration with an excellent retention rating. With retention ratings as low as 3 nm, Microgard filters take advantage of some of the tightest membrane technologies available in the market. The asymmetric UPE membrane increases flow and reduces pressure drop, resulting in reduced defects and increased throughput. The nylon membrane, utilized in Microgard LE Nylon, promotes maximum flow and provides high retention capabilities with its nonsieving retention capabilities. With retention ratings to 1 nm and at twice the thickness of standard nylon filters, Microgard LE Nylon returns twice the performance and ensures low defectivity in advance chemicals. The hydrophilic nylon membrane eliminates prewetting, resulting in reduced chemical usage and less system downtime during filter changeouts. Optimized for a Variety of Chemical Applications Microgard filters are optimized for filtration of a variety of chemical applications. Microgard Plus, Microgard Plus LE, Microgard PI, Microgard UPE and Microgard UPX filters are available in an allpolyethylene construction, while the Microgard LE Nylon filter is constructed of a nylon 6 membrane. With either construction, these filters provide low surfactant binding, excellent wettability and superior downstream cleanliness and do not require prewetting, making them ideal for solvent-based chemicals. Microgard PI filters have been optimized for filtration of polyimide and other high-viscosity chemicals. Additional downstream supports ensure ultimate durability in the most demanding applications. The following table summarizes the Microgard filter attributes.

Microgard filters do not require prewetting with solvent-based photochemicals, resulting in lower operational costs and a more consistent, reliable process. The all-polyethylene UPE construction lowers metallic and ionic contamination that can leach from other materials. The Microgard Plus, Microgard Plus LE, Microgard PI, Microgard UPE and Microgard UPX filters provide low surfactant binding, excellent wettability and superior downstream cleanliness and do not require prewetting, making them ideal for solvent-based chemicals. Microgard PI has been optimized for filtration of polyimide and other high-viscosity chemicals. Nylon Filtration The nylon 6 membrane with retention ratings to 1 nm and at twice the thickness of standard nylon filters enables Microgard LE Nylon to return twice the performance and ensure low defectivity in advance chemicals. Microgard LE Nylon eliminates prewetting, resulting in reduced chemical usage while minimizing system downtime during filter changeouts. The proprietary cleaning technology of the Microgard LE Nylon filter delivers the lowest levels of organic, metal extractables and particle shedding. Microgard LE Nylon offers superior wettability, making it ideal for aqueous and solvent-based chemicals. ENTEGRIS, INC.
