Membrane Incompatibility

The following chemicals and chemical types should be avoided or reviewed by Koch Membrane Systems prior to exposing the membrane:

  • Aprotic Solvents (e.g., Dimethyl Formamide, Dimethyl Acetamide, N-Methyl Pyrolidine)
  • Chlorinated Solvents (e.g., Methylene Chloride, Chloroform, Carbon Tetrachloride)
  • Ketones (e.g., Acetone, Diacetone Alcohol)
  • Silicones or Silicone based Defoamers (e.g., Siloxane)
  • Synthetic coolants, semi-synthetic coolants, kerosenes, naphtha, gasoline, and floc polymers may also affect membrane performance.
