PTFE Cartridge

Filter Concept’s PTFE cartridges are made of polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE), characterised by high chemical inertness. These are specifically designed for sterile filtration applications of air and gas streams. They are certified bio safe, non pyrogenic and fully validated to pharmaceutical standard. PTFE and polypropylene, the unique two materials used in cartridge manufacturing, are chemically inert not shedding and biologically safe according to FDA, USP and EEC requirements for pharmaceutical and food contact use. PTFE cartridge membrane is used in filtering the highly corrosive solutions such as strong such as strong acids, bases solution and solvents. The membrane has about 80-95% porosity and uniform pore size distribution. Moreover, the filtration area of each cartridge is as high as 0.7 m². Therefore it offers high flow rate, low pressure drop and long service life. These can be steam sterilised direct or reverse as per standard operating data. Features and benefits: PTFE membrane has excellent chemical resistance; end caps and connectors are sealed by thermal bond, free binder; low pressure drop and high flow rate due to high filtration area of 0.7 m² per 10” cartridge; inherently hydrophobic expanded PTFE micro porous membrane for broad chemical compatibility and to prevent moisture obstruction in venting and wet air filtration; absolute rated and precisely controlled pore size distribution for superior and constant bacterial retention; autoclave or in-situ team sterilisation features; and integrity test is possible; and FDA approved. These filters are available in various sizes and configurations. Filter Concept Inc is an ISO 9001:2000 certified company.
