SF18040 PTFE PM2.5 Membrane Filter - 46.2mm, 2.0µm, Polypropylene Ring, 50/pk
The SF18040 is a high-purity PTFE membrane filter specifically designed for PM2.5 ambient air monitoring applications. Conforms to EPA PM2.5 reference method under the requirements for 40 CFR part 50 Appendix L and serves as a direct replacement for Whatman 7592-104. Each 46.2mm filter features pore size 2.0 µm with a chemically resistant polypropylene support ring for enhanced durability and handling.
Technical Design
Cobetter PM2.5 PTFE membrane filter is especially designed for PM2.5 air sampling. It is made by high purity PTFE film, structured a thin flat filter with chemically resistant polypropylene support rings, for better handling. PTFE membranes are extremely hydrophobic and exhibit superior chemical compatibility, making them ideal for collecting fine particulate matter in challenging environmental conditions. Membrane printed with sequential numbers for easy recording and tracking.
Key Specifications
- Diameter: 46.2 mm
- Pore Size: 2.0 µm
- Material: High-purity PTFE with polypropylene support ring
- Package: 50 filters per pack, sequentially numbered
- Surface: Hydrophobic

Regulatory Compliance
These filters meet all requirements for 40 CFR Part 50, Appendix L PM2.5 reference method monitoring. Cobetter PP ring supported PTFE filters are produced in ISO7 clean room conditions to ensure low background contamination and consistent performance for EPA-compliant ambient air quality monitoring programs.
Applications
Specially designed for PM2.5 air sampling. Ideal for:
- EPA reference method PM2.5 ambient air monitoring
- State and local air quality assessment programs
- Environmental compliance monitoring
- Research applications requiring precise particulate collection
- Long-term trend analysis of fine particulate matter
Quality Assurance
Low element background, very good chemical compatibility makes the ring supported PTFE filter very widely used in ambient air monitoring. Each filter is individually numbered for complete traceability and quality control. The polypropylene support ring provides structural integrity during automated sampling operations while maintaining sample integrity for gravimetric analysis.
