Hydrophobic PTFE membrane — 0.2 µm sterilising grade, up to 100 forward steam cycles of 30 min at 135 °C.
Pharma industry →Hydrophobic PTFE vent element on WFI storage tanks and purified water vessels — resists wetting during steam sterilisation.
Pharma water →PF-PT is recommended for sterile gas filtration and venting. Its hydrophobic membrane suits wet-gas sterilising duties such as fermenter air feed.
Pharma fermentation →PTFE membrane handles aggressive oxidising liquids and solvents where PES or PP membranes are incompatible.
Pharma chemicals →PTFE sterile vent and gas filtration family — housings, sizing and replacement finder for pharma sterile gas applications.
Sterile process air hub →
