Versatile filters uniquely suited for a broad range of air monitoring applications
- Useful for high temperature and hot gas air monitoring applications.
Tissuquartz™ Filters
- Heat treated for reduction of trace organics and superior chemical purity.
- High temperature use for analysis of acidic gases and stack sampling aerosols.
- High flow rate and filtration efficiency.
- Ultra-pure soft water processing to reduce residual ion content. (Contact Pall Technical Service for typical values.)
Fiberfilm™ Filters
- Economical filter suited for a range of air sampling applications.
- Moisture variations in air or gases during air sampling will not cause chemical reactions on the filter.
- Heat-treated (HT) version available for reduction of trace organics.
Emfab™ Filters
- Withstands folding for weighing and transport.
- Every filter flushed with DI water to remove water-soluble residue.
- Low air resistance for use in critical aerosol sampling tests such as diesel exhaust.

The TX40H145 and TX40H175 are made from the same materials but were developed in conjunction with the U.S. EPA (Method 26) when a need arose to sample the exhaust gases from the stacks at incinerator facilities. These two grades are made with higher levels of the PTFE binder resin than the TX40H120WW to withstand the corrosive atmosphere. The TX40H175 has a higher level of binder than the TX40H145 and both have a higher level than the TX40H120WW.
