Zitex is a chemically inert, thermally stable, porous PTFE membrane. Available in standard grades having pore sizes in the approximate range of 1 - 6 microns, Zitex can be used as a self-supporting membrane in a wide variety of particle filtration applications in aggressive environments. Zitex membranes typically do not require polymeric backing materials for support which can compromise performance. Moisture resistant and chemically inert, Zitex is sterilizable with steam and/or bactericidal solutions. Zitex is available in roll form up to a maximum width of 10 inches or as circular disks sized to fit common filter holders.

Fluoropolymers are well known for both their chemical inertness as well as low temperature flexibility. Both of these attributes combine favorably in cryogenic sample bags, typically used in biotechnology and genetic studies. FEP film is most common in these applications; however other melt extrudable and heat sealable fluoropolymer films are used for collection, preparation and storage of tissue samples.

Laboratory surfaces are expensive, and must be keep clean, sterile and damage free. Protect your investment with CHEMFILM® surface covering films. Delivery excellent resistant to chemical attack and easy clean up to even the most staining fluids, these films also offer scratch and ding protection from common lab tools.
