FluorofilTM

ePTFE Membrane
Cartridge Filters
FluorofilTM cartridges are manufactured using a highly
hydrophobic Gore ePTFE membrane. The enhanced ePTFE
membrane offers exceptionally high gas flow rates at low
pressure differentials (see graph). FluorofilTM cartridges are
recommended for sterile gas filtration and venting applications.
The hydrophobic characteristics of the ePTFE membrane makes
the FluorofilTM filter cartridge particularly suitable for wet gas
sterilising applications, such as fermenter air feed.
For solvent and aggressive chemical filtration applications,
FluorofilTM cartridges offer a wide range of chemical
compatibility with high thermal stability. Suitable for the most
demanding microfiltration applications, the cartridges can be
used for the filtration of aggressive chemical solutions including
acids, alkalis, solvents and etchants.

Applications
FluorofilTM ePTFE membrane cartridges meet the demanding
filtration requirements of pharmaceutical, semiconductor and
fine chemical manufacturers. They are suitable for a wide
range of sterile venting and gas filtration applications, including
the filtration of wet gases. They can also be used for the fine
filtration of aggressive chemical solutions including acids, alkalis,
solvents and etchants.
