PTFE Membrane

Hydrophobic-PTFE-Membrane-cbt.jpg

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membranes are naturally hydrophobic,  resistant  to corrosion and organic solvents, and it is widely used in biofermentation, medical and food & beverge industries.  

Cobetter's PTFE membranes are widely used in air filtration of major pharmaceutical companies and organic solvent filtration because of their high throughput, low differential pressure and low leachable. 

Cobetter's gas sterilization cartridges use temperature-resistant, thickened PP center rods instead of traditional stainless steel center rods.  

Due to Cobetter's unique technical innovation, it has also developed a hydrophilic PTFE that can be used in liquid filtration. Cobetter filter cartridge is particularly suitable for filtration of organic solvents and disinfectants that are soluble in water. What's more, Cobetter can make PFA perfluorinated cartridges, which are highly resistant to temperature, pressure and corrosion.
