Product Details
SLF-HT - Hydrophobic PTFE Membrane Cartridge
Brand OptiFluor
Masterfilter SLF-HT filter cartridges manufactured with hydrophobic PTFE membranes with advanced high-temperature resistance. They are designed for sterile filtration of air and gas. Due to their permanent hydrophobicity, SLF-HT cartridges offer high process security, and can withstand high temperatures continuous process conditions, ozonised water venting applications and stringent in-line steam sterilisations.
Features Benefits
- 0.2 µm absolute rated challenged in liquid
- Oxidation-resistant materials provide longer service life in air and vent applications
- Permanently hydrophobic PTFE for maximum security with wet and dry gas
- PTFE offers compatibility with most chemicals
- Exceptionally high flow rates with low delta p
- Suitable for all integrity test procedure including WIT (requires no alcohol)
Markets
- Pharmaceuticals and Biologicals
