TefTEC™V

TefTECV membrane candles

An economical variant of the absolute PTFE membrane filter candle

TefTEC filter elements are made of a hydrophobic PTFE membrane and supporting polypropylene layers. An economical variant of the PTFE membrane plug, the PTFE membrane offers superior hydrophobic properties compared to polypropylene filters used in compressed air applications.
