BHA-TEX® ePTFE Membrane

Maximum Performance

BHA-TEX membrane is an expanded microporous PTFE membrane that is bonded to the surface of conventional filter media, including felts and woven fabrics.

Made from virgin PTFE resin, BHA-TEX membrane is manufactured in our own climate-controlled cleanroom environment, which allows us to create a membrane with exceptional lamination strength and controlled specifications. BHA-TEX membrane filter media is tested and inspected to assure the filter bags are the highest quality.

BHA-TEX membrane is ideal for high moisture applications and operations requiring extremely high collection efficiency or increased air volumes. It is designed to be used with virtually every style of filter bag, and can be used in pulse-jet, plenum pulse, reverse air, shaker, and cartridge dust collectors.

Using computerized and automated equipment, GE controls the various manufacturing variables including pore size, pore size distribution, and membrane thickness -- all of which have tremendous impact on the effectiveness of the membrane. The physical characteristics of the membrane can be customized for optimal performance on a variety of base fabrics.

Benefits:

  • Highest filtration efficiencies (99.99+%) for lowest possible emissions
  • Excellent dustcake release on cleaning helps keep pressure drop low, helps maintain stable system operation
  • Reduced agglomeration for hassle-free baghouse operation
  • Greater airflow and/or lower energy consumption helps provide quick return on investment
  • Sub-micron filtration
