MP² Harborlite

MP² Harborlite is a high purity perlite filter aid developed for high purity applications in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and beverage industries.

MP² Harborlite media is the preferred choice where a High Purity, direct replacement is needed for Food Grade Harborlite perlite filter aid. With the exception of the acid washing purification step, the MP² Harborlite perlite manufacturing process is similar to that of conventional Harborlite perlite filter aid. This similarity produces a media that minimises differences in filtration processes.

Studies show that after replacing Food Grade perlite filter aids with MP² Harborlite media, extractable impurities are significantly reduced (Table 1).

MP² Harborlite media was developed as a pharmaceutical grade CGMP alternative to Food Grade perlite filter aids. MP² Harborlite media addresses the following CGMP needs that are unmet with Food Grade perlite filter aids:

• Regulatory Support
• Compendial standards
• Purity
• Manufacturing and process control
• Packaging
