Pleated Filters with Halar (ECTFE) Microfiber
Figure 1: Flotrex HR Pleated Filters
Description and Use
Flotrex-HR (FHR) filters (Figure 1) are made entirely
from Halar (ECTFE) (Halar is a trademark of Ausi-
mont.), an industrial-grade fluoropolymer with
excellent solvent resistance. FHR filters can with-
stand the harshest process conditions due to this
virtually indestructible material. Providing broad
chemical compatibility, you can count on our filters
to produce consistent, uniform process streams in
your most demanding filtration applications.
FHR filters deliver high flow rates and high-purity
results with absolute rated efficiencies (99.9% filtra-
tion efficiency at rated pore size based on ASTM
F795 and F661 test methods) and retention charac-
teristics that typically outperform polypropylene
fiber filters.
The FHR filter is just one example of our strong
commitment to fluid treatment. Our complete port-
folio includes filters for every stage of processing,
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.
Typical Applications
FHR all-Halar, melt-blown fiber filters offer out-
standing performance in extremely harsh chemical
environments. These FHR filters also provide cost-
effective, absolute filtration at high flow rates.
Available in a range of 3, 10 and 25 µm, FHR filters
are manufactured and packaged in a cleanroom
environment for assured cleanliness. FHR filters are
designed for both pre- and final filtration. Typical
applications include:
• Filtration of aggressive chemicals including
Toluene and Xylene
• Filtration of Ozonated Water
• Beverage
General Properties
Flotrex-HR filters are available the following abso-
lute pore size micron ratings: 3, 10 and 25 µm.
