DuPont strengthens dairy RO offerings with the launch of mesh-wrapped FilmTec™ MXP RO-8038-FF element, enhancing efficiency and filtration performance.
DuPont has announced the expansion of its dairy reverse osmosis (RO) portfolio with the launch of the FilmTec™ MXP RO-8038-FF element, a new mesh wrapped RO solution designed to enhance productivity and operational efficiency for dairy processors. The product was introduced from Wilmington, Delaware, on February 4, 2026, and targets producers seeking higher performance without altering existing system configurations.
The FilmTec™ MXP RO-8038-FF element is engineered specifically for dairy operations that continue to rely on mesh wrapped membrane systems. It delivers approximately five percent more active membrane area and can achieve up to 50 percent higher productivity compared to conventional mesh wrapped RO elements. This allows dairy processors to increase throughput while maintaining familiar handling and operating practices.
Designed for the concentration of milk, whey, and lactose streams, the new RO element supports higher recovery rates and helps reduce wastewater generation. Its standard 8038-sized dimensions ensure easy integration and seamless replacement within existing dairy processing facilities, DuPont’s minimizing downtime and operational disruption.
According to DuPont, the introduction of the FilmTec™ MXP RO-8038-FF element provides dairy processors with greater flexibility and choice. Customers can now select FilmTec™ MXP elements for improved productivity in mesh wrapped systems, or opt for FilmTec™ Hypershell™ XP elements when seeking maximum energy efficiency, reduced bypass, and simplified handling.
The new element further strengthens DuPont’s FilmTec™ dairy membrane portfolio, reinforcing the company’s commitment to innovation in food and life sciences processing. Backed by DuPont’s global manufacturing capabilities, technical expertise, and continuous product development, the FilmTec™ MXP RO-8038-FF element supports cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable dairy production worldwide.
