Features and Benefits

Unrivaled Channel Integrity

RO-Flow™ fabrics boast maximum channel integrity, retaining strength and durability even after rigorous use. This resilience translates to a consistently high flow rate over an extended service life.

Optimized Construction

Our fabrics can be constructed with a thinner profile, allowing for increased wraps around the membrane. Wider channels on RO-Flow™ Permeate Carriers result in enhanced fluid volume output and a more efficient flow rate compared to other fabrics

Hybrid Tricot Design

The innovative tricot design provides flexibility for membrane customization while maintaining exceptional channel integrity. This minimizes compression and flow loss over time, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Patented Construction

Covered by US Patent # 9,636,637 B2, the patented bicomponent multi-filament/mono-filament hybrid tricot knit uses less material to achieve greater results, with an innovative design that delivers firmness, stability, and maximum permeability.

Eco-Friendly Fusion

Our proprietary RO-Flow™ fabrics incorporate heat-treated bicomponent yarn, fusing fibers without the need for harsh chemicals or epoxy. This eco-friendly approach sets a new standard for safety and sustainability in water filtration.
