General Material Description

Special porous silicate granules exclusively manufactured by Pall Schumacher, are sintered with a siliceous bond to form a material of homogeneous composition named Aerolith. The porous Aerolith ceramic consists mainly of crystalline and amorphous silicates and the colour is white.

Due to high porosity and the large internal surface, the porous Aerolith ceramic products offer a high storing capacity for particles and liquids. The labyrinth structure leads to an excellent separation efficiency at a simultaneously very low increase of differential pressure.  Porous Aerolith ceramic is distinguished by the large variety of configurations, and is used in depth filtration applications up to 500° C.
