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 100 high pure filter cellulose is very finely processed and is used for economical precoat filtration in many applications in the food manufacturing and chemical industry.
