PETE Membrane Filters, 0.2 Micron, 13mm - 90mm, Hydrophobic, Nonwoven Support

Hydrophobic polyester (PETE) membrane filters are engineered for air and gas filtration applications where traditional PTFE or polyolefin membranes are typically used. Treated through a proprietary process to ensure permanent hydrophobic and oleophobic characteristics, these track-etched membranes offer reliable performance in demanding environments.

Key Features

• Permanently hydrophobic and oleophobic surface

• Track-etched PETE for uniform pore structure and mechanical strength

• Higher water entry pressure vs traditional vent filters

• Excellent thermal resistance and dimensional stability

• Compatible with gamma sterilisation and thermal welding

Superior Performance and Integration Versatility

Compared to PTFE membranes, hydrophobic PETE filters deliver improved dimensional stability. They also outperform polyolefin membranes in thermal resistance, while offering higher water entry pressure at comparable pore sizes. Their compatibility with gamma irradiation and ability to thermally bond to various substrates makes them highly suitable for integration into sterilizable devices.
