What Makes PTFE Filter Media Unique
Advanced Design and Composition
You benefit from LH’s patented ePTFE membrane technology, which sets PTFE filter media apart from conventional options. This advanced design works with a range of substrates, including PTFE felt, fiberglass, Aramid, PPS, PE, and Acrylic. You get a filter that fits your specific hvac system and industrial needs. The uniform pore structure and high porosity optimize airflow, which helps you achieve a higher merv rating and maintain low pressure drop. The smooth surface of PTFE filter media also reduces friction, making cleaning easier and keeping filtration performance consistent.
Tip: When you select PTFE filter media, you improve your merv rating and ensure your hvac system captures more fine particles.
Here’s how PTFE filter media compares to conventional filter media:
| Feature | PTFE Filter Media | Conventional Filter Media |
| Filtration Efficiency | High efficiency capturing a wide range of particles | Struggles with smaller particulates |
| Operational Life | Extended durability due to protective felt layer | Subject to faster degradation |
| Maintenance | Easy cleaning with backflushing feature | Requires frequent replacements |
| Resistance to Harsh Conditions | High chemical and thermal resistance | Often affected by harsh conditions |
| Cost-Effectiveness | Lower overall operating costs due to longevity | Higher costs due to frequent replacements |
| Environmental Impact | Contributes to cleaner emissions | May contribute to environmental pollution |
Performance in Harsh Environments
You need a filter media that stands up to the toughest conditions. PTFE filter media delivers outstanding durability and chemical resistance, with continuous operation at temperatures up to 240°C (464°F) and short spikes up to 260°C (500°F). You can rely on PTFE filter bags to last up to six years under normal use, reducing downtime and replacement costs. The non-stick properties prevent clogging, so your merv rating stays high and your hvac system runs efficiently. PTFE filter media resists acids, bases, solvents, and fuels, making it ideal for chemical plants and other demanding environments.
PTFE filter media maintains filtration efficiency even in high-temperature and corrosive settings.
You experience fewer maintenance issues and longer service life.
Your hvac system benefits from consistent merv performance, keeping air quality at its best.
Benefits of PTFE Filter Media for Air Quality
Superior Particle Filtration
You rely on filter media that delivers consistent results in demanding environments. PTFE filter media stands out for its ability to capture particulates as small as 0.1 microns. This high filtration efficiency means you remove harmful particles and contaminants from the air before they reach your workspace. PTFE syringe filters, available in pore sizes from 0.1 to 10 microns, retain bacteria and particulate matter, minimizing contamination and ensuring accurate results in laboratory and industrial settings.
| Filter Type | Efficiency (%) | Pore Size (microns) |
| PTFE with back-up pad | 37 | 0.3 |
| Pall PTFE with laminated support | 25 | 0.5 |
| Zefluor™ PTFE | 25 | 1.0 |
| Fluoropore PTFE with back-up pad | 25 | 3.0 |
You see the difference when you compare PTFE membrane filter media to other options. PTFE filter media captures sub-micron particulates, while conventional filters struggle with aggressive dust collection and high-temperature gas streams. This superior performance ensures your media air cleaner operates at peak efficiency, protecting your facility from contaminants.
Enhancing Indoor Air Quality
You improve indoor air quality when you choose PTFE filter media. The controlled pore size and chemical resistance of PTFE membrane filter media allow you to remove fine particulates and harmful particles from the air. This leads to cleaner air in your chemical plant, pharmaceutical factory, or waste incineration facility. You create a safer environment for your workers and maintain consistent product quality.
Note: PTFE filter media enhances worker safety by reducing airborne contaminants and lowering outgassing. You protect your team from hazardous dust and emissions, which is essential for maintaining a safe workspace.
You benefit from a media air cleaner that supports reliable process operations. In industries such as semiconductor, optoelectronics, and medical manufacturing, PTFE filter media ensures air purity and process reliability. You maintain high standards for indoor air quality and reduce the risk of contamination.
Lower Emissions and Compliance
You meet regulatory air quality standards with PTFE filter media. The high filtration efficiency and chemical resistance of PTFE filter media help you remove harmful particles and contaminants from your air streams. You achieve lower emissions and maintain compliance with strict hygiene and safety standards.

Media Filters vs. Alternatives in Chemical Plants
PTFE Filter Media vs. Traditional Media Filters
You face a critical choice when selecting media filters for your chemical plant. PTFE filter media stands out compared to traditional media filters such as fiberglass, Aramid, and PPS. You see a clear difference in filtration efficiency. PTFE membranes can increase the efficiency of your filters by up to 20%. When you add an ePTFE membrane to your filter bags, you boost the ability to capture particles as small as one micron. Traditional media filters often struggle with fine dust and aggressive gas streams. PTFE filter media creates a robust barrier against dust, which extends the life of your filters and reduces the need for frequent replacements.
You also benefit from the chemical and temperature resistance of PTFE filter media. These filters tolerate temperatures up to 500°F (260°C) and resist harsh chemicals that can damage other media filters. You can expect a service life of four to six years, even in high-temperature applications. Although PTFE filters may have a higher initial cost, you save money over time because you replace your filters less often.
Note: Stricter environmental regulations drive the need for advanced media filters. PTFE filter media helps you meet these standards and maintain compliance.
