FORTEX PVDF hydrophobic membrane
The Fortex PVDF membrane is an hydrophobic / oleophobic / hemophobic PVDF membrane cast on a non- woven polyester support. Treatments give the membrane superior skills to be compatible with the most performing requirements.
Major Advantages
• 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.
