Memtrex* FE
Pleated Filters with PTFE Membrane
Figure 1 : Memtrex FE Filters
Description and Use
Memtrex FE (MFE) filters (Figure 1), with absolute
rated PTFE membranes offer broad chemical com-
patibility with minimal extractables in a wide range
of fluids and applications. The inherently hydropho-
bic PTFE membrane is ideally suited for the filtration
of compressed air and other process gases. Con-
structed in a clean room environment using thermal
welding techniques, the MFE filters do not contain
any adhesives or additives. As part of the manufac-
turing process, the MFE filters are individually integ-
rity tested. The effectiveness and purity of your
filtration process is preserved.
The MFE filter is just one example of our dedicated
commitment to fluid filtration. Our extensive portfo-
lio includes filters for every stage of processing, and
we can offer custom solutions for your unique ap-
plications. GE Water & Process Technologies is
your complete source for filters, housings, and
other filtration equipment.
Typical Applications
MFE filters offer exceptional filtration characteris-
tics, including reliable particle retention and
high purity, in harsh process conditions. Typical
applications include filtration of:
• Aggressive solvents such as alcohols, esters
and ketones
• Corrosive acids and bases
• Vents/exhausts for autoclaves, fermentors, and
storage tanks
• High purity chemicals and water used in elec-
tronics manufacturing
