Product Introduction
The hydrophobic and oleophobic membrane provided by BlueTech Filtration boasts strong water- and oil-repellent properties. This membrane effectively prevents the penetration of low-surface-tension contaminants, including detergents, cleaning agents, oils, and chemicals.
The oil-repellency test is conducted according to AATCC Standard 118-1989, established by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists. The test procedure involves dropping a liquid with a known surface tension onto the surface of the membrane material and observing the wetting behavior. This process represents the liquid's penetration into the membrane structure. The oil-repellency rating is defined as the minimum surface tension of a liquid that fails to wet the membrane material.
Product Advantages
- Oil-release rating: Level 8 (AATCC118)
- High flow rate & non-volatile
- High chemical resistance and high-temperature resistance.
- Strong mechanical performance
