Main material: Aromatic polyamide
Products Description
The Vontron NF 4040 nanofiltration membrane is a spiral-wound polyamide membrane designed for selective separation of divalent ions and organic matter.
Available in two models, VNF1-4040 and VNF2-4040, it offers flexible performance options for different treatment requirements:
- VNF1 – lower rejection, higher flux (similar to NF270)
- VNF2 – higher rejection, higher purity (similar to NF90)
The 4040 size is widely used in industrial water treatment systems, offering a balance between performance, cost, and system footprint.
Model Comparison
| Model | Type | Typical NaCl Rejection | MgSO₄ Rejection | Key Feature | Equivalent Model |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VNF1 | Low rejection | ~40–60% | ≥96% | High flux, lower pressure | DuPont FilmTec NF270 |
| VNF2 | High rejection | ~85–95% | ≥95% | Higher purity, better selectivity | DuPont FilmTec NF90 |
The VNF1 series is a single-row selective membrane, capable of perfect single-row removal of sulfate ions, making it more suitable for softening water.
The VNF2 series, on the other hand, is more geared towards reverse osmosis membranes and is suitable for water purification applications.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between VNF1 and VNF2?
VNF1 provides higher flux with lower salt rejection, while VNF2 offers higher rejection for better water purity.
Q2: Can Vontron NF membranes replace NF270 or NF90 directly?
Yes, they are designed as compatible alternatives in standard 4040 systems.
Q3: When should I choose NF instead of RO?
NF is preferred when partial desalination or hardness removal is required with lower energy consumption.
