Once manufactured the filter paper in the desired physical conditions (weight, thickness, filtration rate, etc.) began a process of washing with acids (usually HF and HCl) which concludes with a final cleaning with demineralized water. This will achieve two important characteristics:
* High resistance to wet state.
* Ash content less than 0.01%
| Ref | Filtration | Weight gr/m2 | Thikness mm | Pore μm | Ash % |
| Very quick | 80 | 0.210 | 25 - 30 | < 0.01 | |
| Quick | 80 | 0.180 | 20 - 25 | < 0.01 | |
| Medium | 80 | 0.170 | 14 - 18 | < 0.01 | |
| Medium Slow | 80 | 0.170 | 7 - 9 | < 0.01 | |
