PTFE Filter TapePrecision Filtration for X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry Based Environmental Monitoring

Description

In response to the worldwide concern over toxic air pollutants and R&D efforts to study emissions and pollution sources, we have developed PTFE filter tape specially designed for use in X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry to monitor metallic contaminants in an air stream. Contaminants are captured in the tape’s porous membrane structure in preparation for element analysis.

Our filter tape has extremely low metal content with efficient air flow capability and a retention rating of 99.7% with 0.3 µm particles.

Features & Benefits:

  • Excellent chemical stability, resistant to most acids, alkalis and organic solvents
  • Has low metal content, producing a low noise-to-monitoring ratio
  • Provides efficient particle retention for total suspended particulate (TSP), inhalable particulate material ≤10 µm (PM10) and ≤2.5 µm (PM2.5)
  • Is highly pliable and easy to use
  • Enables reliable analysis results

Applications:

  • Metallic monitoring with XRF spectroscopy
  • Air quality monitoring stations
  • XRF monitoring equipment
