3.In comparison with other organic membranes, it is higher in strength, contributing to prolonged operation.

<comparision of hollow fiber strength (nominal pore size: 0.45)>

	Tenisile strength （N/fiber）	Membrane thickness （mm）	Membrane external diameter （mm）	Membrane internal diameter （mm）
PTFE membrane （Poreflon™）	63	0.25	1.3	0.8
Other organic membrane	10	0.25	1.3	0.8

4.Membranes can be cleaned with various chemicals and exhibit high flow recovery.

PTFE' s superior resistance to chemicals allows cleaning with high-concentration alkali and other chemicals.

Measurement procedure
Tensile strength (hollow fiber): Measure breaking strength of a sample 100mm in length using a tensile tester.
Adhesive strength (sealed area): Fix the sealed area and pull the hollow fiber upward for measurement Using a tensile tester.
