Ashless Filter Paper
Our Ashless Filter Papers are made under the strictest conditions using high quality raw materials. The ashless filter paper grades are made with 100% cotton linter fibres. Cellulose fibres in their natural state contain small quantities of organic and inorganic impurities. As quantitative analysis requires a high purity, these papers have been washed out with acid and finally cleaned with demineralised water to provide an ash content of 0.007%. The papers also become highly resistant to the moist state. These standard ashless grades are very pure filters suitable for routine quantitative gravimetric techniques and in the preparation of samples for use in analysis involving instrumental techniques. Because of all this, these filters are especially suitable for filtration with Buchner funnels in quantitative analysis since they meet the requirements of international standards with regards to ash content. Johnson Test Papers offers a complete range of Ashless Quantitative Cellulose Filter Papers with a choice of pore size, filtration speeds, and filter thicknesses. They are available in different filter sizes from small circle formats to large sheets. We can also make custom sized filters to meet your specific needs.
