Product Details

A PTFE filter bag is a type of industrial filtration bag that is made from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), which is a highly durable and chemically resistant synthetic fluoropolymer. PTFE is best known by the brand name Teflon, which is famous for its non-stick properties. In the context of filter bags, PTFE provides several significant benefits:

  1. Chemical Resistance: PTFE is inert to most chemicals, which makes PTFE filter bags suitable for applications involving corrosive gases or where chemical compatibility is essential.
  2. High-Temperature Tolerance: PTFE can operate continuously at temperatures up to about 260°C (500°F), making it ideal for high-temperature processes.
  3. Non-Stick Surface: The inherent non-stick properties of PTFE prevent dust and particulates from embedding into the fabric, leading to better release of dust during cleaning cycles and longer filter life.
  4. High Filtration Efficiency: PTFE filter bags can have a very fine pore structure, which allows for high-efficiency filtration of fine particulates.
  5. Hydrophobic Nature: PTFE is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. This property is advantageous in environments with high humidity or moisture, as it prevents the filter bags from absorbing moisture and becoming clogged.
  6. Low Energy Consumption: Due to the excellent release properties and efficiency of PTFE filter bags, they can often operate at a lower pressure drop compared to other filter media, which can result in lower energy consumption for the dust collection system.
  7. Long Service Life: The combination of chemical resistance, temperature tolerance, and mechanical strength means that PTFE filter bags generally have a longer service life compared to many other filter materials.

PTFE filter bags are primarily used in baghouse dust collectors, which are systems that filter particulates out of air or gas released from commercial processes or combustion for electricity generation. They are especially valuable in industries such as chemical manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food processing, power generation, and any application where non-contaminating, high-purity filtration is required.
