Polytetrafluoroethylene Sintered Filter Cartridge

Jan. 11, 2024

The sintered filter cartridge manufacturer is here to talk about the polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sintered filter cartridge. The sintered PTFE filter cartridge is made from pure PTFE raw materials, sintered at high temperature and pressure. Therefore, this filter cartridge has strong acid and alkali resistance, high alkaline capability, and high strength and toughness. At the same time, the filter cartridge can withstand high temperatures up to 200°C, earning it the nickname "king of filter cartridges." PTFE filter cartridges come in standard M20, 222, and 226 interface forms, which are interchangeable with other filter cartridges. They also feature flat push, plate-type interfaces for precision sizing and steam filtration, and can be customized with various interface types.


Product Performance

Resistant to strong acids and alkalis.

High-temperature resistance up to 200°C, suitable for steam sterilization and steam filtration.

High porosity: Unlike conventional metal sintered filter cartridges with porosity below 30%, PTFE sintered filter cartridges have a porosity exceeding 50%, providing a larger fluid flow for the same filtration area.

Smooth outer surface: The outer surface of the filter cartridge is as smooth as "wax," preventing impurities from adhering to the surface. The high outer surface filtration precision and low inner layer filtration precision make cleaning easy, thorough, and highly effective, resulting in an extended service life.

High strength and toughness: The filter cartridge's high strength and toughness make it resistant to breakage, a significant advantage over metal filter cartridges, effectively addressing the issue of "breakage" causing substantial losses for manufacturers.

High filtration precision: The filtration precision of PTFE sintered filter cartridges can reach 0.3μm or even below 0.1μm, surpassing the capabilities of typical metal filter cartridges. The combination of high filtration precision and porosity provides good fluid flow under high filtration precision conditions, ensuring practicality.

No "particle shedding" phenomenon: The inner and outer surfaces of the PTFE sintered filter cartridge are very smooth and fully sintered at high temperature and pressure, preventing "particle shedding" during use and avoiding fluid contamination. Therefore, it is widely used in security filtration in the water purification, pharmaceutical, and food industries.

Strong ozone resistance: The thorough sintering at high temperature and pressure gives the filter cartridge higher ozone resistance compared to PTFE pleated membranes. It finds extensive application in the pharmaceutical, water purification, and food industries for ozone aeration and sterilization filtration.
