Duramem® and puramem® for Organic Solvent Nanofiltration
DuraMem® and PuraMem® membranes are now available as a valuable addition to our Chemically Resistant Membranes product line. Duramem® and Puramem® polymeric membranes, made by Evonik, are market leaders for Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN).
Organic Solvent Nanofiltration, i.e. separation of molecules dissolved in organic solvents through a semipermeable membrane, has gained great traction over the last decade. Advantages of OSN over conventional separation processes include lower energy requirements, conservation of expensive materials, and system robustness.
DuraMem® offers long term stability in most polar and polar aprotic solvents (acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dimethylformamide, isopropanol, acetonitrile, methylethylketone, ethyl acetate, and more), while PuraMem® series is stable in apolar hydrocarbon-type solvents (toluene, heptane, hexane, methylethylketone, methyl-isobutylketone, ethyl acetate, and more).
