Gore is the world leader in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane technology. Our advanced filter technology offers a significant improvement in performance with the combination of
high flow and retention, compared to existing filter technologies.
DescriptionHigh flow, high retention, hydrophobic PTFE membrane in a low-extractables, high density polyethylene (HDPE) cartridge
Improve Performance with GORE® Filters Advanced Membrane Technology Gore’s technological advancements to the most critical part of the filter — the membrane — result in significantly improved performance compared to other filters in its class.
GORE® Bulk High Purity Chemical Filters utilize our latest PTFE membrane technology. This technology significantly increases the open porous area available for fluid flow, while the structural characteristics of the membrane ensure a high level of retention.
High retention and flow combined with low extractables
Low Extractable MaterialsThe combination of materials in GORE® Bulk High Purity Chemical Filter, Series HCOEE result in very low metal ion and organic extractables. These filters are ideal for processing ultrapure chemicals used in semiconductor and flat panel display processing.
Ideal Applications:• High throughput chemical filling and packaging systems
• High-turnover recirculation filter systems
Products:• Ultrapure electronic-grade chemicals
• Wet etch and clean chemicals, and specialty blends
• Acids, bases, and solvents
• High viscosity fluids

The Science Behind GORE® Filters Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is the ideal choice for microfiltration media, because it is thermally and chemically resistant, mechanically strong, non-shedding and chemically inert. Engineered using Gore’s unique membrane technology, GORE® Bulk High Purity Chemical Filters provide several times the flow rate with equal or better retention than conventional filters. Gore’s advanced PTFE microfiltra-tion membranes have more pores in any given area, which results in a high flow rate. At the same time, the small pore size ensures consistently high retention rates.
The Gore Advantage W. L. Gore & Associates, founded in 1958, creates innovative, technology-driven solutions such as high-performance GORE-TEX® fabrics, medical devices that treat aneurysms, and electronic cables used in space exploration. Gore products have set new standards for reliability and performance in the consumer, industrial, electronic, medical and surgical markets.
For more than 30 years, Gore has supplied reliable, chemically inert, exceptionally pure PTFE-based products for microelectronics fabrication and process equipment. Gore’s most advanced PTFE membranes are only available in GORE® Filters for ultra high purity liquid microfiltration.
