Filter and process to prepare the same

摘要

The present invention relates to filters, particularly for filtration of water under gravity and to a process for making such filters. The invention also relates to a gravity filtration device using the filter of the invention. It is thus an object of the present invention to provide for a moulded filter that is more reliable and is prone to fewer leaks as compared to similar types of prior art filters. A filter comprising a filter block comprising particulate filter media and polymeric binder having melt flow rate less than 5 grams/10 minutes; and an end plate integrally moulded to said filter block, said end plate having a port for passage of liquid and made of a polymer having a melt flow rate less than 5 grams/10 minutes.
