Material selection

There is much to consider when selecting the right polymer to produce membranes for a given application. Hydrophilicity will impact the resistance against membrane fouling. The tensile properties of the membrane are important and depend on the molecular weight of the polymer ingredients. Since higher degrees of polymerization produce tougher materials, this is an important consideration for membrane performance. Chlorine resistance and pH impact membrane longevity. It is important to review polymer selection and membrane materials carefully.
