RFN Series Filter Elements
Description
Profile® II RFN Series filters* are composed of an all nylon filter medium
with glass filled polypropylene cores as standard. They are also available
with glass filled nylon cores. The elements have an absolute rated
downstream section, and a continuously profiled pore size upstream
section, which increases service life many-fold.
The fibers in Profile II RFN filters are for practical purposes continuous. No
binder resin is used —the fibers are “bonded” by intertwining during the
manufacturing process. As a result , Profile II RFN filters show no media
migration
Application:
Fluid Capability
The materials of construction of the standard RFN Series filters permit application in a very wide range of
liquids, and gases. For use with hot vegetable and mineral oils, which cause the polypropylene core to swell,
the GN Series, with a glass filled nylon core, is preferred. For use with xylene, toluene or other aromatics, and
for high temperatures, the glass filled nylon core is required. The Profile II RFN Series nylon filters should not
be used in any oxidizing conditions or with water above 115 °F (40 °C).
