From hair and skin care to makeup, perfumes and oral hygiene products, most of us use these products more frequently than we even realize.
Consequently, the filtration of cosmetic and toiletry ingredients is a readily important process ranging from clarification of creams and ointments to sterile filtration of water used for product preparation.
Filtration of raw ingredients is important to ensure the best productivity during chemical reaction or treatment, ensure that the final product is pure and of high quality and remove contaminants from solids particles to microorganisms.
Bacteria, yeasts, molds and other organisms can be found everywhere and are difficult to remove. Therefore, barriers such as filters must be installed to remove bacteria and other organisms. Sterile filtration is a technique used to remove or reduce microbial contaminants from liquids.
