Polyesther supported, hydrophobic PVDF

Hydrophobic/oleophobic/hemophobic

Wide chemical compatibility

Non-wettable by most low-surface tension liquids

Excellent handling properties

High mechanical strength

Compatible with all sealing/welding methods

EtO, Gamma, Beta and Steam compatible

Comply with ISO 10993-1 and USP Class VI testing


Applications

Fortex PVDF hydrophobic membranes offers a very cost effective solution to many healthcare requirements. It’s a real breakthrough for all venting needs.
