HALAR MEMBRANES

摘要

Porous polymeric ultrafiltration or microfiltration membranes including Halar poly ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene and related compounds and the methods of production thereof which avoid the use of toxic solvents. Preferred solvents, coating agents and pore forming agents are citric acid ethyl ester or glycerol triacetate. The membranes may be in the form of a hollow fibre or flat sheet, and may include other agents to modify the properties of the membrane, such as the hydrophilic / hydrophobic balance. Leachable agents may also be incorporated into the membranes.
