Ahlstrom 6170-1100 Qualitative Filter Paper, 11cm, 35 Micron, Fast Flow, Grade 617 (Pack of 50)

Ahlstrom's qualitative grades of filter paper are, by definition, recommended for use in analytical methods that determine or identify particulate constituents of a mixture irrespective of the amount present. These grades contain a high level of alpha-cellulose that provides high purity but will weaken when wet. The inherent strength of standard (untreated) grades does not pose a problem when they are used in routine quadrant folded applications. We do not recommend these grades for use in vacuum work or when wet handling is required.

Ahlstrom offers a complete range of low ash filter papers for general laboratory work that provides you with the correct combination of particle retention, filtration speed, loading capacity, and wet-strength. Qualitative analysis, low ash content (0.06 percent), untreated, consistent performance, wet-strengthened grades, and custom cut options are available.

Qualitative filter papers are often used in routine separation work that still requires high purity and consistent performance. Qualitative grades consist of greater than 95 percent super refined a-cellulose and linter fibers. Standard qualitative filter papers are suitable for quadrant folded or gravity flow applications.

Ahlstrom 617 is a thicker filter paper with a higher loading capacity, and it is used for rapid filtration of coarse particles and gelatinous precipitates such as in oils and resin solutions. This is an extremely fast filtering grade and has a larger particle retention. Ahlstrom 617 is also found in construction product testing and is used by students to retain large flocculents and precipitates.
