Memtrex* HFE-T
Pleated Filters with PTFE Membrane
Features and Benefits
Memtrex* HFE-T features a ePTFE membrane
edge-laminated on Halar (ECTFE) (Halar is a
trademark of Ausimont.), with polyester plastic
parts. Halar is an industrial-grade fluoropolymer
with excellent solvent resistance. MHFE-T benefits
of the edge lamination technology assuring a low-
er pressure drop and increasing flow rate. MHFE-T
filters can withstand very harsh process condi-
tions due to its construction using these highly
resistant materials. Providing broad chemical
compatibility, you can count on our filters to pro-
duce consistent, uniform process streams in your
most demanding filtration applications. MHFE de-
liver high flow rates and high purity results with
absolute rated efficiencies (99.9% filtration effi-
ciency at rated pore size based on ASTM F795 and
F661 test methods) and retention characteristics
that outperform other filters.
The MHFE-T filter is just one example of our strong
commitment to fluid treatment. Our complete
portfolio includes filters for every stage of pro-
cessing, and we offer custom solutions for your
unique applications. GE Water & Process Technol-
ogies is your complete source for filters, crossflow
membranes, housings, and other filtration equip-
ment.
Typical Applications
MHFE-T filters offer outstanding performance in
very harsh chemical environments. These filters
are manufactured and packaged in a cleanroom
environment for assured cleanliness. Typical ap-
plications include:
 Chemicals
 Microelectronics
 Pharmaceuticals
