Whatman Grade Shark Skin filter papers are a creped filter paper that is commonly used to remove impurities in a variety of applications.

• Very thin with high wet strength: Enables handling when wet; allows use under pressure; provides durability and structural support in aqueous filtration
• Creped filter paper: Has enlarged surface area that reduces duration of filtration and allows more stretch and flexibility
• Durable: Resistant to weak acids and bases

Whatman Grade Shark Skin Filter Papers (particle retention 8 to 12 µm) are a medium/slow filter paper made from super-refined cellulose. They are available in a variety of sizes, in both circles and sheets.

Applications include:
- Purification of edible oils, beverages, and cocoa butter for food and cosmetic uses.
- Removal of suspended solids for purification of electroplating baths
Protective paper for filter press cloths
- Reducing impurities lowers the amounts of reactants and increases the efficiency of the oil, which minimizes production costs and helps to ensure regulatory compliance.
