Filtration of viscous liquid

Liquids with high viscosity mean that it is a thick, sticky liquid. But what is the dynamic viscosity for each type of substance? You can find it on this page in the table below.

For filtering viscous liquids, we offer various suitable process filters, depending on the application. We are happy to work together to optimize your filtration process, feel free to contact us for a non-binding consultation.
