    Standard Qualitative Filter Paper

    Standard Qualitative Filter Papers are used for low gravity, or quadrant-folded applications. Standard Qualitative Filter Papers have a higher level of α- cellulose than other filter papers. This means that they will weaken when the papers are introduced to water. We do not recommend Standard Qualitative Filter Papers if wet handling or vacuum work is necessary. In routine quadrant-folded applications the underlying strength of standard (untreated) grades does not present an issue.
