Description & Usage

PPS filter bags are the premium choice for harsh, high-temperature environments where chemical resistance is critical. They are exceptionally stable in the presence of acids and alkalis and possess excellent hydrolytic stability, making them ideal for “wet” high-temp applications. Their primary use is in coal-fired power station filtration where sulfur content in the fuel creates a highly corrosive flue gas that would degrade other fibers.
