The second biggest category will be non-woven cartridges. They have wide use in industrial and residential water treatment and are also used as pre-filters in high purity water applications. Membrane cartridges are taking market share from non-wovens because of their high efficiency on sub-micron particles. These filters are used in many medical applications including blood purification. They are widely used as final filters at the tools in semiconductor plants and are used for processing biopharmaceutical products.
Metal cartridges are indispensible for high temperature applications in the food, refinery and other industries. Stringwound cartridges are used in paint manufacture and applications defined by low cost and lower efficiency.
