What is Crosspure®?

Crosspure is a new development by BASF for optimum filtration and stabilization of beer and other beverages. Compared to conventional products, the filter excipient provides several advantages: Crosspure is regenerable, safe, and easy to handle.

BASF produces Crosspure by compounding polystyrol and cross-linked PVP. The special compounding process creates mechanically and chemically stable particles.
The new filter excipient from BASF is available as Crosspure F and Crosspure XF, having the same composition but different particle sizes.
