Filter Paper Class 3 – Coarse, Fast-Flow Laboratory Filter Paper
Filter Paper Class 3 is a coarse, fast-flow filtration paper designed for applications that require rapid liquid flow and efficient separation of larger particles. Produced from high-grade cotton linters enriched with alpha cellulose, this filter paper delivers dependable mechanical strength, stable flow rates, and excellent handling during high-volume or routine laboratory work.
With its higher porosity and 20–25 micron particle retention, Class 3 is ideal for laboratories needing quick filtration while maintaining clarity and consistency.
Available Sizes
