Special Filter Selection for High-Temperature Applications
High-temperature applications require special fabrics and materials in industrial filtration systems. To ensure long-lasting, efficient, and safe operation, filtration materials must be capable of withstanding high temperatures. In this article, we examine the performance and usage areas of specialized materials such as fiberglass, PTFE, and PPS under high-temperature conditions.
- Fiberglass
- Temperature Resistance: Max. 260°C
- Chemical Resistance: Moderate
- Mechanical Strength: High
- Applications: Cement plants, metal production, glass industry
Fiberglass fabrics stand out for their high temperature resistance and mechanical strength. They are commonly used in systems operating between 200–260°C. While their chemical resistance is limited, they can endure heavy mechanical loads.
- PTFE (Teflon)
- Temperature Resistance: Max. 260°C
- Chemical Resistance: Excellent
- Mechanical Strength: Moderate
- Applications: Chemical industry, waste incineration plants, harsh gas and liquid processes
PTFE (Teflon) fabrics are known for their extremely high temperature resistance and excellent chemical durability. Ideal for harsh chemical environments like sulfuric acid and corrosive gases, they offer outstanding protection, though their mechanical strength is not as high as fiberglass.
- PPS (Ryton)
- Temperature Resistance: Max. 200°C
- Chemical Resistance: High
- Mechanical Strength: High
- Applications: Coal-fired plants, biomass combustion systems, chemical industry
PPS fabrics deliver reliable performance under heavy industrial conditions due to their high temperature resistance and chemical durability. These fabrics are capable of handling aggressive gases and chemicals, making them a preferred choice for high-temperature applications.
