Memtrex* HFE - Halar PTFE
All Fluoropolymer Pleated Cartridge
Features and Benefits
Figure 1 : Memtrex HFE filter
Memtrex* HFE are made entirely from fluoropoly-
mer materials including Halar (ECTFE). Halar is a
trademark of Ausimont.), and PTFE. Halar is an in-
dustrial-grade fluoropolymer with excellent sol-
vent resistance. MHFE benefits of the edge
lamination technology assuring a lower pressure
drop and increasing flow rate. MHFE filters can
withstand the harshest process conditions due to
its construction using these highly resistant mate-
rials. Providing broad chemical compatibility, you
can count on our filters to produce consistent, uni-
form process streams in your most demanding
filtration applications. MHFE deliver high flow rates
and high purity results with absolute rated effi-
ciencies (99.9% filtration efficiency at rated pore
size based on ASTM F795 and F661 test methods)
and retention characteristics that outperform
other filters.
The MHFE filter is just one example of our strong
commitment to fluid treatment. Our complete
portfolio includes filters for every stage of process-
ing, and we offer custom solutions for your unique
applications. GE Water & Process Technologies is
your complete source for filters, crossflow mem-
branes, housings, and other filtration equipment.
