Description

A 260 °C (500 °F) maximum service temperature, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene felt filter bag for use in back washable liquid
filter systems with chemically aggressive operating conditions.

Features & Benefits

  • Patented GORE™ High Durability Membrane technology provides an excellent combination of filtration efficiency, liquid flow, and durability.
  • Chemically inert providing the highest all-around chemical resistance and maximum bag life.
  • Constructed using a woven ePTFE scrim that provides excellent dimensional stability, extended flex life, and resistance to mechanical damage over the life of the filter.

Applications

  • Chloralkali Processing: Brine filtration for removal of Ca, Mg, Fe and Hg precipitates in the primary brine treatment area prior to electrolysis.
  • Sodium Chlorate: Removal of iron compounds from chlorate solutions prior to crystallization.
  • Sodium Hypochlorite: Filtration of high-strength bleach solutions for removal of fines that cause bleach decomposition.
