Corning 9989 Fiber Glass Wool 8 um Porosity 1 lb Glass Fiber Filter

Description

Product Overview

The Corning 9989 Fiber Glass Wool is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern laboratory and industrial filtration systems. Featuring an 8 µm nominal porosity and a convenient 1 lb (approximately 0.45 kg) package weight, this product balances high performance with ease of use. Constructed from premium-grade fiberglass, the wool provides a uniform fiber structure that promotes consistent particle capture while minimizing pressure drop across the filter media. The product is packaged in a compact, sealed container measuring 11.61 x 11.26 x 5.71 inches, ensuring protection from moisture and contaminants until the moment of deployment. Its design is compatible with a wide range of filter housings and supports, making it a versatile choice for both fixed‑bed and disposable filtration setups.

Usage

Designed for laboratory environments, the Corning 9989 Fiber Glass Wool excels in applications such as sample preparation, buffer clarification, and removal of fine particulates from chemical solutions. It is equally effective in industrial settings where robust filtration of process streams, cooling water, or air handling systems is required. The material’s high temperature tolerance allows it to be used in processes up to 200 °C, while its chemical resistance ensures compatibility with acids, bases, and organic solvents commonly encountered in research and production facilities. Users can cut the wool to custom dimensions, stack multiple layers for increased depth, or integrate it into pre‑assembled filter cartridges for rapid deployment. The product’s low dust generation and static‑free handling characteristics reduce the risk of cross‑contamination, a critical factor in sensitive analytical workflows.
