PETE Membrane Disc, 0.45µm

The PETE Membrane Disc (0.45µm) is an advanced filtration solution engineered from a high-density polyester film, delivering exceptional solvent resistance for diverse applications, including blood assays and general filtration where chemically aggressive solvents may be utilized.

Manufacturing Excellence

This unique membrane undergoes an intricate two-step proprietary manufacturing process akin to that of PCTE membranes. Initially, the polyester film is subjected to ion particle exposure, creating 'tracks' that indicate polymer damage. Subsequently, the beamed film is treated with a chemical solution, which meticulously etches away the tracks, resulting in precisely controlled cylindrical pores. This innovative approach allows for optimized control over both pore size and density, ensuring that the membrane meets stringent specifications.
