FAQs - PPPTFE
PTFE water filters are chosen for their exceptional chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and filtration efficiency. They are most often used in applications where maintaining water purity, avoiding contamination, and withstanding challenging conditions are essential.
Yes, PTFE filters are known for their high-temperature tolerance and can often withstand sterilisation methods like autoclaving. It is important to note that stainless steel end-caps may need to be used for high temperature applications or sterilisation.
A pleated filter is a type of liquid filtration cartridge designed with pleats or folds on the filter media to increase the surface area for better filtration efficiency compared to spuns and wounds.
Pleated filters are used to remove suspended particulate. They are usually used to control finer particulate as a final stage of filtration where a specific contaminant is targeted for removal.
