HYDROPHOBIC FILTER CARTRIDGE

PTFE Cartridges are made up of polytetrafluoroethylene. PTFE is characterized by high chemical inertness. These are specifically designed for sterile filtration applications of liquid, air & gas streams. They are certified, bio-safe, non-pyrogenic & fully validated to pharmaceutical standards. PTFE and polypropylene, the unique two materials used in cartridge manufacturing are chemically inert, not shedding and biologically safe according to F.D.A., USP and EEC requirements for pharmaceutical and food contact usages. PTFE cartridge membrane is used in filtering highly corrosive solutions such as strong acids, base solutions, and solvents. The membrane has about 80 – 95 % porosity & uniform pore size distribution. Moreover, the filtration area of each cartridge is as high as 0.7 m2. Therefore, it offers a high flow rate, low-pressure drop & long service life. These can be steam-sterilized directly or reverse as per standardized operating data.
