| Use Limitations*: | 1-propanone, 2-hydroxy-1-(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)phenyl)-2-methyl- (CAS Reg. No. 106797-53-9) may be used as a photoinitiator in the manufacture of polyether sulfone (PES) filter membranes. 2-propenamide, N,N-methylenebis- (CAS Reg. No. 110-26-9) may be used as a hydrophilic crosslinker in the manufacture of PES filter membranes. The PES filter membranes may be used for filtration of aqueous, acidic, and alcoholic (50% alcohol or less) foods, except for infant formula and human milk, at room temperature or below. The PES filter membranes are for repeat use and can be sterilized between uses at temperatures up to 130°C for two hours.
