OptiFluor SLF-T Cartridge

SLF-T - Hydrophobic PTFE Membrane Cartridge

Brand OptiFluor
Media: Gases
Micron Ratings: 0.2 µm
Filter Type: Pleated Membrane

Masterfilter SLF-T filter cartridges manufactured with permanently hydrophobic PTFE membranes are designed for sterile filtration of air and gas. Due to their permanent hydrophobicity, SLF-T cartridges offer high process security, with high volume gas streams and can withstand high differential pressures and stringent in-line steam sterilisations.

Features Benefits

  • 0.2 µm rated (0.01 µm for gases)
  • Pleated surface provides excellent flow rate and long service life
  • Permanently hydrophobic PTFE for maximum security with wet and dry gas
  • PTFE offers compatibility with most chemicals
  • Suitable for all integrity test procedure incl. WIT

Markets

  • Pharmaceuticals and Biologicals
  • Food and Beverage
  • Chemicals
