At Great Lakes Filters, we know that when it comes to filtration, performance, safety, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. That’s why one of the core offerings in our lineup of filter media is FDA-certified rayon rolled media—a trusted choice across industries ranging from food processing to medical device manufacturing.
With over 80 years of filtration experience, we’ve seen firsthand how the right media can make the difference between product success and system failure. Our rayon filter media consistently delivers the kind of reliability and flexibility that manufacturers require when facing rigorous operational and regulatory standards.
What Is Rayon Filter Media?
Rayon is a semi-synthetic fiber derived from cellulose, offering a unique balance of strength, absorbency, and heat resistance. At Great Lakes Filters, we source and process rayon to meet FDA guidelines, ensuring suitability for applications where direct or incidental contact with consumables is common.
Our rayon media is available in a wide range of roll widths and thicknesses, and we also offer custom die-cut formats for integration into filter assemblies, test kits, or standalone components.
Key Benefits of Using Rayon in Industrial Filtration:
- FDA Compliance for Food & Medical Use
Our rayon media is certified for applications in food production and medical environments, helping manufacturers meet strict health and safety regulations with confidence. - Exceptional Thermal Stability
Designed to perform under elevated temperatures, rayon maintains structural integrity in cooking, sterilization, or high-speed packaging processes. - Superior Absorbency and Particle Retention
Thanks to its natural cellulose content, rayon absorbs fluids quickly and evenly—making it ideal for fine filtration in pharmaceutical, laboratory, and bioprocessing systems. - Low Lint, High Purity
Rayon’s clean fiber structure minimizes shedding, an essential characteristic in sterile manufacturing and controlled environments.
Applications That Rely on Rayon Media
