As far as I know, there's only two types of RO membrane: CTA (cellulose
triacetate) and TFC (thin film composite). The newer type you're thinking
of may be either the "high-silicate removal" (what Kent Marine calls
"Hi-S") or the "ultra-high rejection" membrane. These types are just
superior quality TFC's that have consistently high rejection rates.
