Track-etched polycarbonate (PC) membranes are manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate film. PC membranes have a smooth flat surface and exhibit very low levels of extractable. They have sharply defined pore sizes, high flow rates, and excellent chemical and thermal resistance. They are suitable for the detection of particles in many corrosive fluids because of this broad chemical compatibility.
