Thread: Confused about filters???

Ok so I'm looking to order a few filters for a straight EO blend I'm going to make and Canadian Med Supplies has me confused lol. I know nylon is bad and PVDF is what I need, but.......


HERE Syringe Filters , this says PVDF

and then

HERE Syringe filter - Pall Acro .2 DMSO and EO safe , this says it's nylon but safe for EO so I'm not sure wtf to purchase?


Advice please.

Seems like those would both be adequate options. What’s your question?

From what I've read nylon filters are a no no for EO especially 100% EO brews so wouldn't the nylon filter that says "Safe for EO" actually break down and fuck up my brew?

If it says safe for EO I would assume it’s safe for EO... but if you’re worried get the other one.

PTFE is the best choice dude, faster than PVDF and resist most of solvents.

Got a link to a shop that sells these?

I dont know if amazon ships to canada but this is what I am using

Biomed Scientific Sterile Syringe Filters PTFE 25 mm Diameter .22 um Pore Size Individually Packaged 1/pk by: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

cheap and works.

I'd get PVDF.

PTFE works as well. The problem is that it can dissolve the rest of the plastic of the filter (not the membrane).
