BECOCEL filter cellulose is a highly pure cellulose fiber material in graduated fiber lengths and finely fibrillated. Its fiber structure forms a loose but reinforced filter cake having an enhanced contaminant holding capacity. BECOCEL filter cellulose can be used as the only filter aid, or can be added to other filter aids.
BECOCEL 250 is a fibrillated filter cellulose with grained fiber structure for the stabilization of the filter cake in the DE-filtration and for the protection of the support screens.
