TFC membrane technology

TFC membrane technology: from chemistry to element

Three decades of R&D behind every Hi-Tech RO element — from thin-film composite chemistry to precision, semi-automated manufacturing across our ISO-certified plants in India and Thailand.

Thin Film Composite (TFC) Membrane Sheet Anatomy

Three layers, one barrier

Explore the three layers of a thin-film composite (TFC) membrane sheet.

No layer isolated.

Your connection or device may struggle with the 3D viewer. The diagram above shows the same three layers.

The same three layers are in every Hi-Tech TFC element, across 200+ models from 1812 to 8040.
