ePTFE Membrane Cartridge Filters FluorofilTM cartridges are manufactured using a highly hydrophobic Gore ePTFE membrane. The enhanced ePTFE membrane offers exceptionally high gas flow rates at low pressure differentials (see graph). FluorofilTM cartridges are recommended for sterile gas filtration and venting applications. The hydrophobic characteristics of the ePTFE membrane makes the FluorofilTM filter cartridge particularly suitable for wet gas sterilising applications, such as fermenter air feed. For solvent and aggressive chemical filtration applications, FluorofilTM cartridges offer a wide range of chemical compatibility with high thermal stability. Suitable for the most demanding microfiltration applications, the cartridges can be used for the filtration of aggressive chemical solutions including acids, alkalis, solvents and etchants. Applications FluorofilTM ePTFE membrane cartridges meet the demanding filtration requirements of pharmaceutical, semiconductor and fine chemical manufacturers. They are suitable for a wide range of sterile venting and gas filtration applications, including the filtration of wet gases. They can also be used for the fine filtration of aggressive chemical solutions including acids, alkalis, solvents and etchants. • Sterile process gases The supply of sterile gas for critical applications in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, food and beverage markets. • Sterile vents The safe sterile venting of processing vessels in pharmaceutical, fermentation, and food and beverage processes. • Fine chemicals and solvents The removal of submicronic particles from processing chemicals and solvents. • Photoresists and developers The microfiltration of photoresists and developer solvents, susceptible to contamination and precipitation during manufacture, storage and processing. • Pure water supply systems For use in de-mineralised and de-ionised water systems, for the supply of ultra-pure water, for example in the semiconductor industry. “Quality for Less” World Class Filtration Solutions

Filter membrane: Gore ePTFE Membrane support: Irrigation mesh (support): Drainage layer: Inner core: Outer support: Minimum total extractables. Please refer to the FluorofilTM Validation Guide. Fusion bonding Integrity Testing Each FluorofilTM module of every cartridge is individually integrity tested using the Diffusive Flow Test, which correlates to the HIMA and ASTM F838-05 bacterial challenge tests. Non-destructive integrity tests, such as Diffusive Flow, Water Intrusion, Pressure Hold and Bubble Point, can be performed by customers. Procedural details are available from Porvair....

Additional Information Material Conformity and Validation Suitable for use in Porvair filter housings and as direct replacements for existing cartridges, FluorofilTM cartridges can be supplied with end fittings to suit most hardware installations without modification. They are available in single or multiple module units of 5, 10, 20, 30 and 40 inches, with a choice of four microbial ratings: 0.02, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.45 micron. FluorofilTM Junior versions are also available. The bio-safety of all materials in the manufacture of FluorofilTM cartridges is assured by FDA approval, USP Class VI and...
