PTFE filters (with polytetrafluoroethylene as the core filter material) are mainly applied in special scenarios where conventional filters are difficult to adapt due to their resistance to extreme environments, chemical inertness, hydrophobicity and moisture resistance, etc. Specifically, they include
Chemical and pharmaceutical industries: It is used for exhaust filtration of highly corrosive gases (such as acid and alkali volatile substances, organic solvent vapors), or tail gas treatment of reaction vessels and distillation equipment, and can withstand harsh chemical environments without being corroded.
High-temperature working environment: It is suitable for the exhaust systems of high-temperature drying workshops and sterilization equipment (such as tunnel ovens, wet heat sterilization cabinets), and can stably filter within a wide temperature range of -200 ℃ to 260℃, avoiding the failure of filter materials due to high temperatures.
High humidity and foggy scenarios: such as oil mist filtration in food processing (aquatic product and beverage workshops), damp laboratories, and spray painting workshops, etc. Its hydrophobic property can prevent the filter material from getting damp and caking, ensuring stable filtration efficiency.
In the field of biosafety: In the exhaust systems of biosafety laboratories and virus research institutions, the uniform microporous structure of PTFE membranes can efficiently intercept microbial aerosols, and their smooth surface is less likely to breed bacteria, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Semiconductors and precision manufacturing: Cleanroom exhaust for processes such as photolithography and etching, which can withstand special chemicals used in the process (such as fluorides), while avoiding the release of particles from filter materials to contaminate precision devices.
The core commonality of these scenarios is the existence of extreme conditions such as high temperature, strong corrosion, and high humidity, or the extremely high requirements for filtration stability and cleanliness. The material properties of PTFE filters precisely meet these demands.
