Sterlitech Adds New Laminated PTFE Membranes

Sterlitech Corporation has expanded its line of laminated ePTFE filters with the addition of new Aspire™ membrane filters for microfiltration.  With pore sizes ranging from 0.1 micron to 5.0 micron, the Aspire™ membranes broadens Sterlitech’s pore size selection to cover a wider range of applications.  The new Aspire™ membranes also include hydrophilic and oleophobic filters. “The new Aspire laminated ePTFE membranes complement our existing laminated and unlaminated PTFE products,” states Mark Spatz, president of Sterlitech.  “The hydrophilic and oleophobic membranes also introduce capabilities that our previous ePTFE products didn’t have.” Expanding PTFE creates a dense, web-like structure with billions of microscopic pores, which trap particulates and allow liquids or gas to flow through.   Sterlitech offers Aspire ePTFE membrane filters in packs of 200 mm x 250 mm sheets with pore sizes ranging from 0.1 microns to 5.0 microns.  The membranes are supported by a layer of polypropylene or polyester to improve durability and are available in thicknesses ranging from 2 to 12 mil.  The broader selection of pore sizes, backing materials, and thickness gives customers the means to select a filter that precisely meets their needs.
