POREFLON™ modulesupplier page

Made from PTFE characterized by superb chemical-, heat-resistance, and durability, POREFLON^TM module is derived from a porous separation membrane that was developed using proprietary processing technologies. Specifically, POREFLON^TM module can be used for various water treatment applications due to its high strength, washability (using various chemicals), easy handling (hydrophilic treatment), high water permeability, etc.

POREFLON^TM has the following four principal features:

1. PTFE offers excellent chemical resistance. POREFLON^TM is chemically stable and does not degrade when exposed to virtually all chemicals.
2. POREFLON^TM is extremely tough and thus has a long service life.
3. POREFLON^TM is highly permeable to water thanks to its high porosity. The Illustration of POREFLON^TM shows the microscopic structure of our POREFLON^TM products. The white area is made of PTFE fibers. The black parts represent voids, or pores. The ratio of pore spaces to the total volume is referred to as the porosity. Without strength limitations and other restrictions, the porosity of POREFLON^TM can be increased up to around 90%. A higher porosity implies less resistance to the passage of water and translates into higher water permeability.
4. POREFLON^TM has a high resistance to heat. This is also another of the excellent features of PTFE, the material used for POREFLON^TM. In membrane filtration applications, POREFLON^TM membrane modules will function up to 200ºC.
