Title : POLYTETRAFLUROETHYLENE FOR REPLACING BOROSILICATE AIRFILTERS
K.V.Poornachandran, Amrit Anand Dosar

Abstract :

Environmentally degradable plastic material Polytetrafluoroethylene is not used as material in air filters.In this paper attempt is made to use Environmentally degradable plastic material polytetrafluoroethylene as air filter. This is an innovative paper which replaces borosilicate sand like material used in air filter with plastic material polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). For this two plastic materials polypropylene and polytetrafluorethylene materials airflow flow properties are analyzed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and compared with air flow properties of borosilicate. From the results polylytetrafluoroethylene found to be perfectly alright.It can be efficiently used as air filter.
