Introduction to Hydrophobic PTFE Capsule Filters

Hydrophobic PTFE capsule filters are a pivotal component in numerous industrial and laboratory settings. PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (PTFE) is celebrated for its non-reactive nature, high-temperature resistance, and superior filtration capabilities, particularly for gas and organic solvent filtration.

Benefits of Hydrophobic PTFE Capsule Filters

• Chemical Resistance: PTFE filters offer remarkable resistance to acids, bases, and solvents, making them suitable for harsh chemical environments.
• Hydrophobicity: Their hydrophobic nature ensures effective separation of contaminants from air and gas streams without moisture interference.
• High Filtration Efficiency: PTFE filters achieve particle retention efficiencies >99.99% for particles larger than 0.1 microns.
• Broad Temperature Range: They function effectively across a range of -200°C to +260°C, accommodating various processing conditions.
• Durability: With excellent mechanical strength, PTFE filters maintain performance over extended periods, reducing the frequency of replacements.

Applications

Hydrophobic PTFE capsule filters are employed in diverse sectors:

• Pharmaceutical Industry: Used for sterilizing gases and solvents during production.
• Biotechnology: Essential for venting applications to prevent microbial contamination.
• Food and Beverage: Ensures purity of gases used in packaging processes.
• Microelectronics: Protect against particle contamination in sensitive components.

Technical Parameters

Below are typical technical parameters for hydrophobic PTFE capsule filters:

• Pore Size: 0.1 to 5 microns
• Flow Rate: Up to 100 L/min for air at optimal conditions
• Maximum Operating Pressure: 5.5 bar (80 psi)
• Autoclaving: Compatible with autoclaving cycles up to 130°C
