The four Donaldson Membranes Tetratex Microporous ePTFE membrane filter media are: Tetratex Release, Tetratex, Tetratex High Efficiency and Tetratex Ultra High Efficiency.
These high performance laminates supply superior dust cake release, low pressure drop, higher air flow, and high efficiency.
The membranes are thermally bonded onto a range of substrates including woven, spun bonded and needlefelt materials, which are utilised in pulse jet, reverse air and cartridge type dust collectors and filter baghouses.
Tetratex membranes are chemically inert and thermally stable up to 287C.
Tetratex is a surface filtration membrane.
It acts as a primary dustcake, requiring no dust cake to act as a filter aid, either before or during operation.
Tetratex helps retain the substrate integrity by inhibiting dust particle penetration and restricting surface cake formation, maintaining optimum airflow and stable pressure drop.
Tetratex membrane filter media vastly improves the performance of traditional filter fabrics which rely on the formation of a surface filter cake to capture fine dust particles, permitting the migration of dust through the media, leading to high emission values and raised pressure drop.
Tetratex delivers high particulate capture rates, excellent dust cake release, extended bag life and energy savings.
For pollution control devices employing fabric filter media, the best available control technology for the capture of fine and difficult particulate is recognised by industry experts as media utilising ePTFE membranes.
