TETRATEX® ePTFE MEMBRANE

nnnn

PLEATABLE FILTER MEDIA

nnnn

Tetratex® ePTFE can be laminated to a variety of spunbonded substrates for use in pleated filter

nnnn

elements/cartridges. The many applications include filter baghouse retrofits, dust/product collection,

nnnn

air pollution control devices for environmental protection as well as filtration systems used in workplace

nnnn

safety, system protection and product recovery.

nnnn

There are numerous features and benefits associated with Tetratex ePTFE membrane pleatable filter

nnnn

media including:

nnnn

Energy Savings:

nnnn

• Improved dust release characteristics enabling lower compressed air pressure

nnnn

• Lower differential pressure operating limits ensures less compressed air and energy usage

nnnn

Low Emissions:

nnnn

• Near-zero emissions to help comply with environmental and workplace health standards and

nnnn

regulations

nnnn

• HEPA rated media from E10 to H13 available for the more stringent applications

nnnn

Improved Productivity:

nnnn

• Improved product reclamation

nnnn

• Offers extended filter element life leading to fewer filter changes, lower filter replacement costs,

nnnn

reduced maintenance and less cleaning time

nnnn

• Overall reduction in production down-time provides significant cost savings

TETRATEX® IN ACTION

nnnn

Industry:	Automotive
DustTypes:	Welding fume/particulate
Process:	Robotic welding - fume/particulate extraction
Issue:	Due to the fine particle size of the welding fume extraction, the existing filter cartridges quickly became blinded resulting in a high differential pressure, reduced extraction performance and increased demand on the compressed air cleaning
Solution:	#9030Tetratex EXTREME Polyester Pleatable Filter Media
Result:	The replacement cartridges provided improved filtration performance and enabled more effective filter cleandown. A reduced requirement of compressed air cleaning resulted in: • Significant energy cost savings • 20% increase in filter life • Reduced production down-time • Improved productivity of 24-7 operation
