Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas-permeable filter provided with oil repellency is provided. The gas-permeable filter includes a porous membrane having a surface coated with an oil-repellent agent. The oil-repellent agent includes a linear fluorine-containing hydrocarbon group represented by —R 1 C 5 F 10 CH 2 C 4 F 9 or —R 2 C 6 F 13 , and the porous membrane is a stretched polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) porous membrane. Here, R 1 and R 2 are each independently an alkylene group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms or a phenylene group. The gas-permeable filter is provided with oil repellency without significant reduction in gas permeability.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A gas-permeable filter provided with oil repellency, the gas-permeable filter comprising a porous membrane having a surface coated with an oil-repellent agent, wherein the porous membrane is a stretched polytetrafluoroethylene porous membrane, and the oil-repellent agent comprises a linear fluorine-containing hydrocarbon group represented by —R 1 C 5 F 10 CH 2 C 4 F 9 , where R 1 is an alkylene group having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms or a phenylene group. 2. The gas-permeable filter according to claim 1 , wherein the gas-permeable filter has a gas permeability of 35 seconds/100 ml or lower in terms of Gurley number, and a 5 mm-diameter droplet of an organic solvent that is n-decane or methanol does not penetrate the surface within 30 seconds after the droplet is applied onto the surface. 3. The gas-permeable filter according to claim 2 , wherein the stretched polytetrafluoroethylene porous membrane has a thickness of 5 μm or more. 4. The gas-permeable filter according to claim 1 , wherein the oil-repellent agent is a polymer formed from monomers at least part of which is a compound represented by: CH 2 ═CR 3 COOR 1 C 5 F 10 CH 2 C 4 F 9 , where R 3 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group. 5. The gas-permeable filter according to claim 4 , wherein the oil-repellent agent is a polymer formed from a monomer that consists of the compound represented by: CH 2 ═CR 3 COOR 1 C 5 F 10 CH 2 C 4 F 9 . 6. The gas-permeable filter according to claim 5 , wherein a 5 mm-diameter droplet of an organic solvent that is n-hexane does not penetrate the surface within 30 seconds after the droplet is applied onto the surface.
