PharmaceuticalPureFlo® PTFE Disc Capsule Filters
Typical Uses

vent and compressed air applications in the pharmaceuticalindustry. The PTFE membrane offers high ﬂow rates inapplications requiring steam sterilization. The high ﬂow
rate and compact design allows for efficient integration
into a variety of pharmaceutical processes, minimizing thespace and weight of the vent ﬁlter in the system.
