Pleated Filters
BCE pleated filters are available in a variety of media to suit your process. The following selection guide lists commonly available pleated filter media.
Spun-bond Polyester
• Highly efficient medium, good for most applications.
• Good cake release
• High resistance to abrasion
• Maximum temperature of 275°F.
Spun-bond polyester is also available with the following special finishes:
• Aluminized anti-static surface for full grounding of the element and enhanced dust release. Recommended for use with potentially explosive dusts.
• Oleophobic finish for moist or sticky or oily dusts.
• PTFE laminate for extremely high efficiency and filtration of uniform submicron particulates. PTFE also provides a slick surface for enhanced cake release.
Aramid (Nomex)
• Maximum continuous temperature of 375°F.
• Has excellent strength, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability.
Polyphenyline Sulfide (Ryton)
• Maximum continuous temperature of 375°F.
• Superior chemical resistance
• Is available with PTFE laminate
Polypropylene
Use in lower temperature applications where chemical environment would degrade polyester. Maximum continuous temperature of 175°F.
Homopolymer acrylic
Can be used in similar environments as polypropylene, but has maximum continuous temperature of 250°F.
