FLONTEX™100 PTFE Filter Membranes (PolyTetraFluoroEthylene) are used extensively in pharmaceutical, laboratory, medical & semi-conductor processing applications where ultra pure or highly aggressive liquids and gases need to be filtered using inert, non-clogging filter media.
FLONTEX™100 PTFE Filter Membranes are self-supporting so backing liners are not required. Being naturally hydrophobic FLONTEX™100 is an excellent venting material & due to its non-stick quality, exhibits unrivalled filter cake release properties. As standard, our PTFE membranes are supplied as punched discs, however, semi-finished material in roll or sheet form is available on request.
