Memtrex* FE Capsules

With PTFE Membrane

Figure 1: Memtrex FE Capsule Filters

Description and Use

Memtrex* FE Capsule Filters (CMFE) consistently

achieve absolute filtration with low extractables.

Constructed using a 100% PTFE membrane, they

are especially designed for reliable general chemi-

cal and air filtration. (Figure 1)

Typical Applications

Memtrex FE Capsule Filters are specifically

designed for chemical and vent filtration applica-

tions, including:

• Acids, base, and oxidant filtration

• Bulk chemical filtration

• Sterile venting

• Electronics grade chemical filtration

• Process air and gas filtration

Features and Benefits

• Ideal for aggressive chemicals, air and process

gas filtration and vent uses

• Highly hydrophobic membranes with low

extractables

• Individually integrity tested during manufacturing

Available Absolute Micron Ratings

Memtrex FE Capsule Filters are available in absolute

micron ratings of: 0.1, 0.20.45 and 1.0 µm.

Materials of Construction

• Filtration Media: Hydrophobic Teflon (PTFE)

Membrane

• Membrane Support Layers: Polypropylene

Microfiber

• Structural Components: Polypropylene

Table 1 details the dimensions and Table 2 shows

the operational limits of the Memtrex FE Capsule

Filters. Table 3 details the results of integrity testing

at various micron ratings and test pressures.
