CRYSTALFIL™ CFIL80 is a high-efficiency polyester/nylon blend filter media designed to provide fine particulate capture while maintaining strong flow under high heat and high pressure conditions. Its combination of durability, filtration efficiency, and dirt-holding capacity makes CFIL80 a versatile solution for both food processing and industrial filtration applications.


On the food side, CFIL80 is especially well-suited for hot oil frying systems and is safe for food-contact applications. It can be used independently for fine particulate filtration or as part of a complete oil-management program alongside filtration aids and oil treatments such as FILSORB®.


When used with FILSORB®, CFIL80 serves as the final filtration barrier in the oil-treatment process. FILSORB® adsorbs oil-degrading compounds and particulate generated during frying, while CFIL80 captures remaining contaminants including fine food particulates, carbonized crumbs, spent filter aid, and suspended solids. This combination helps restore oil clarity, maintain more consistent oil performance, and support longer frying-oil life.


By effectively removing fine particulate from the oil, CFIL80 can help:

  • Extend frying oil life

  • Reduce suspended solids and carbonized food particles

  • Reduce oil darkening and off-flavor development

  • Maintain cleaner, more consistent frying oil

  • Improve the effectiveness of filtration and oil-treatment programs

  • Perform reliably in high-temperature, high-pressure filtration systems


CFIL80 is also highly effective in industrial honing and polishing applications, where fluid cleanliness and efficient particulate removal are critical. Its graduated structure is designed to capture fine particles throughout the depth of the media rather than only at the surface. This allows more of the filter media to be utilized, increasing dirt-holding capacity while helping maintain consistent fluid clarity throughout the filtration cycle.


For industrial users, that can translate into longer filter life, extended index cycles, reduced media consumption, and lower operating and maintenance costs without sacrificing the level of cleanliness required for precision machining processes.
