Filtration
Porous PTFE is an ideal
material for the construction of filters because it is chemically
inert and easy to clean. The porous nature of PTFE results
from the particulate nature of the granular PTFE used to form
it. Specific porosity of the filter can be determined as a
function of the PTFE processing. Baking conditions are chosen
so that the PTFE particles become partially fused or sintered
into an integral porous network during manufacturing. Secondary
operations determine its optimal filtering characteristics.
Due to the non-stick qualities of PTFE, the
filter element has good release properties permitting ready
removal of filtered material. The thermal stability of PTFE
also allows the filter to be used for high temperature liquid
and gas filtration as well as in cryogenic applications.
Filter elements may be
made in a variety of shapes and sizes to suit your particular
application. Contact our engineering
