0.1~5.0 Micron PTFE Microporous Filter Membrane
Introduction:
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) microporous filter membrane is made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and has excellent chemical compatibility. Modified to become a hydrophilic membrane, it is widely used in aqueous and organic solutions.
Parameters:
Optional diameter: 13mm-800mm
Optional pore size: 0.1um/0.22um/0.45um/1.0um/x5.0um, etc.
Alias: Hydrophilic Polytetrafluoroethylene, English code PTFE.
Chemical formula: -(CF2CF2)n-
Thickness: 16±1 (filament)
Melting point: 327±10°C
Thermal decomposition temperature: 415°C
Burning temperature: Non-flammable
Density: 2.17-2.23g/cm3
Chemical stability: Polytetrafluoroethylene can withstand almost all chemical reactions except melting alkali metals, chlorine trifluoride, chlorine pentafluoride, and liquid fluorine.
Features and Benefits:
- Extremely strong chemical corrosion resistance and good heat resistance.
- Larger flow rate, extremely low protein adsorption, and temperature resistance.
- Suitable for filtering microorganisms, steam, and various corrosive liquids.
- Suitable for all solvents, acids, and salts, with no soluble substances.
- Disinfectant filtration is more suitable than other materials. Good pore size consistency.
Application Fields:
HPLC mobile phase and other mixtures of water and organic solvents; analysis of water samples, separation of RNA, filtration of most organic solvents, strong acids and alkalis, widely used in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, microelectronics, and laboratories, etc.
Selection reference for filter membranes: (Specifically depends on chemical compatibility)
- For hydrophilic samples suitable for filtering water-based solutions, choose hydrophilic membrane discs. Available membrane discs include: CN-CA (water membrane), PES membrane, nylon membrane, PP membrane, etc.
- For highly corrosive organic solvents: choose membranes such as PTFE.
- For protein solutions, choose membranes with low protein adsorption, such as CN-CA, PES, PTFE, and PVDF hydrophilic membranes.
- For ion chromatography: generally choose PES filter membranes.
- For gas and steam filtration, choose hydrophobic membranes such as PTFE or PVDF.
- For high-temperature liquids, choose PES filter membranes, PVDF hydrophilic, or PTFE hydrophilic membranes.
