The monitoring of air and water in the environment is of utmost importance in today’s day and age. The wastewater and solid wastes released from industries also need to be checked for residues and chemicals before they are discharged. Borosil filter media is manufactured in such a way that they are neutral, metallic ion free, and stable enough for a contaminant-free sampling of air, water, and wastewater.
BOROSIL filter papers can be confidently used in areas that are subject to strict official requirements like the DIN, EPA, ASTM, etc.
