Products and Solutions
Dura-Fry® delivers the industry’s best oil extension filtration.
Dura-Fry® is a white, food-safe powder that filters, purifies, and extends the life of frying oil during normal filtration. Its patented formulation delivers both filtration and purification—removing Total Polar Materials (TPM), Free Fatty Acids (FFA), and other microscopic impurities that degrade oil quality.
An exclusive active ingredient attracts and captures harmful compounds, while a secondary component helps absorb off-colors and off-tastes caused by oil breakdown—keeping oil cleaner and food tasting better, longer.
Dura-Fry works seamlessly with your existing equipment, requiring no changes to your kitchen setup. It is fully compliant with U.S. Food and Drug Administration standards and certified Halal.
We provide training and ongoing support to help you maximize oil life, reduce waste, and improve consistency across your operation.

Ahlstrom Optipad™ – Powered by DuraFry®
Benefits
Extend filter oil lifetime up to 75% – TPM (Total Polar Materials) is a key measurement for assessing the quality of frying oil. OptiPad™ keeps the TPM% lower much longer, extending the oil life up to 75%
Sustainable solution – Longer oil life means less waste and lower operating costs. Low oil pickup minimizes residual oil inside the filter pad, reducing the oil disposal to a minimum
Reduced complexity in handling – Our pads offer superior structural integrity with minimal dusting, making filter installation cleaner and easier. Pre-impregnated with powder and ready to be use, our solution streamlines workflow for faster filter change
Developed in partnership with Ahlstrom, the Optipad™ filter is a breakthrough in hot cooking oil filtration. By combining Ahlstrom’s advanced filter media with DuraFry’s proven powder technology.
Partnering for purity
Measuring TPM levels in oil is the only way to get a truly accurate, quantitative, scientific measurement of oil quality. DuraFry Solutions is a preferred partner of Testo®, the leading provider of oil quality testing devices, with the Testo 270 being the exclusive instrument used by DuraFry in restaurant trials of our patented product and patent-pending process. TPM testing can prevent adverse nutritional effects and potential health hazards, while also extended the life of your oil—all making a positive impact on your bottom line.
Quantifying oil quality
Observation, paper tests, color gauges. The methods to determine oil quality have varied through the years, but these pseudoscientific approaches cannot provide consistent, accurate, or quantitative information for restaurants to optimize the taste of fried foods.
As soon as oil is heated and comes into contact with food, it starts to deteriorate at a chemical level, elevating the level of Total Polar Materials (TPM). No amount of filtering alone can counteract this chemical alteration that, ultimately, makes the oil unsafe and unsuitable for use. And those traditional testing methods? They can’t identify when TPM levels become dangerous.
