All raw material used in the manufacture of United Filters International products are compliant with RoHS III, REACH197, and Callifornia Proposition 6. All are FDA food and beverage grade many are NSF 42 and or NSF 61 approved.
Carbon Filter Options
UCP (Pleated Carbon/NSF-42 Certified)
Premium pleated carbon filter incorporating absorption and purification benefits of coconut based carbon with functionally and filtration properties of a five-micron barrier filter. Reduces chlorine, odor, sediment, dissolved organics and improves taste.
UCB (Carbon Block)
Carbon Block with outer polyester wrap to prolong filter life and clean handling. These cartridges reduce unwanted taste, color, odor and chlorine.
UPAMC (Carbon/Cellulose Wrap)
Carbon impregnated cellulose wrap is ideally suited for 5-micron pre-filtration and process solutions not compatible with synthetic media filters. Used for prefiltration and process solutions
UPAGC (String/Granular Carbon/String-Triple)
Three stage filtration. Outer pre-filter protects activated granular carbon media. Final filtration is accomplished with multiple layers of string to preclude downstream carbon migration. These cartridges are cellulose free and well suited for a wide range of closed-loop process/potable applications.
UGAC (GAC)*
GAC filter configuration maximizes fluid contact time with granular carbon, more effectively reducing unwanted taste, odor and chlorine. Internal post filter prevents unwanted downstream carbon fines. Reduces chlorine, odor, sediment, dissolved organics and improves taste.
UFMC (Carbon/Polyester Wrap)
Food and beverage grade coconut carbon matrix locked into polyester nonwoven media felt wrap. Nominally rated at 5 microns with polypropylene core. All materials FDA food/beverage grade. No cellulose content. These cartridges reduce unwanted taste, color, odor and chlorine.
UPACP (String/Carbon Felt/String-Triple)
Three stage filtration. Outer pre-filter protects multilayer carbon/cellulose reactive media. Final filtration is accomplished with multiple layers of string to preclude downstream carbon migration. Triple cartridges are well suited for a wide range of closed-loop process applications
UGACR (GAC/Catalytic Carbon)
Highly effective for the reduction of chloramines and hydrogen sulfide from potable water. GACR profiles maximize fluid contact with media. Reduces chloramines, hydrogen sulfide, and unwanted color, chlorine, sediments and improves taste.
UFMC-S (Carbon/Polyester Wrap-Stainless Steel Core)
Food and beverage grade coconut carbon matrix locked into polyester nonwoven media felt wrap. Nominally rated at 5 microns. Stainless steel for high pressure/temperature applications. All materials FDA food/beverage grade. No cellulose content.
UPACG (Radial Flow Carbon)*
Porous synthetic polymer outer shell filled with activated coconut based granular carbon. Internal spun bond polypropylene finishing filter prevents downstream carbon fines. For gaseous applications, this cartridge can be used to remove organics such as oil mist, water vapor and fine dust/scale particles. The outer shell possesses excellent filtering/coalescing properties. Most oil/water contaminants are trapped and collected on the shell. Used in potable water applications, this filter will effectively reduce chlorine, odor, sediment, dissolved organics while improving taste. Effective filtering in coalescing and potable water applications
