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).
