Applications

Fuel Cell Stacks

For light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles as well as green hydrogen production, our broad range of ePTFE structures used as reinforcement for PEM membrane offers:

Strong mechanical strength
Balanced mechanical strength on machine direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD)
Low proton resistance
Well-controlled properties, including thickness (density), pore size and porosity, etc.
Low-cost solution for fuel cell stack durability

Medical Devices

Donaldson’s technologically advanced enclosure protection vents offer protection against liquids and particulates while delivering maximum performance where it matters most.

Our team of experts combines experience with superior technical capabilities to find the best solutions in the most challenging applications, like ostomy bags, syringe filters, and hearing aids.

In ostomy bags, for example, Donaldson enclosure protection vents allow air and other gases to vent without allowing passage of liquids or particulates through the vent, and our adsorbent venting solutions diminish unwanted odors, improving wearer comfort.

Reliable Microfiltration

Tetratex ePTFE membrane has a unique microporous structure that delivers a high flow rate, a high number of sterilization cycles, and long life.

It performs separation, purification, and sterilization functions in a variety of air and liquid ultra-high purity gas microfiltration systems.

Microfiltration applications include pleated cartridge filters, capsule, and point-of-use filters, and laboratory disc filters.

Filter Bags

Tetratex filter media can help enhance the performance of a fabric filter by utilizing surface filtration technology as opposed to traditional depth filtration methods.

Tetratex filter media can be laminated to a variety of base substrates to provide a complete range of media including woven and felted textile media for conversion into all types of filter bags as well as pleatable media for cartridge-style elements.

The unique structure of Tetratex ePTFE membrane filter media helps prevent the penetration of fine dusts into the supporting substrate and facilitates excellent cleanability due to its nonstick characteristics.
