I have to find suppliers of hollow fiber for water treatment. I have found some membrane modul suppliers, but I need just hollow fibres.
Thanks in advance,

What do you specifically intend to do with these fibers?

Thanks, for replying!
I need hollow fiber membranes for communal and industrial (food and beverage) water cleaning.

But why just the fibers? They are not very useful unless they are configured in a module or cartridge.

Dear friend,

I work for an Italian company producing hollow fiber used
in ultrafiltration field.
If You are interested in evaluating those membranes,
You can contact me at palumbo@medica.it

Best regards

Dear Brennens7,

You're right. We'd like to assemble module cartridges to use them in water filtering. The reason why we would like to purchase hollow fibers is that the module prices are too high compared to the hollow fiber prices.

Dear Giuseppe,

Thanks, I send you an e-mail.

The assembly of HF membrane cartridges is as much art as science. As for a supplier of membrane fiber, I do not know of anyone that manufactures fiber that does not build there own membrane cartridges. For this reason I think it to be unlikely that they would be willing to sell fiber only.

I wish you luck.

Hello szkis,

For your purpose the best thing could be to acquire a small submerged module (from Zenon or from Mitsubishi Rajon), then to cut the two extremes, if you need only the fibre.

Best regards
