Through ongoing research and development, our material scientists continually find new ways to add value to Porex’s material structures. You will benefit from Porex's surface chemistry modifications with materials that are permanently hydrophilic, super hydrophobic, self-sealing or designed to fulfill specific functions. These capabilities enable our development engineers to rapidly create and produce innovative solutions for you, blending materials that bring the best properties of two different polymers into one. Porex works with a number of thermoplastic materials. The material groups and properties listed below represent some standard materials that are typically used in Porex’s day-to-day operation.
The majority of the raw materials used in the production of POREX Porous Plastic have been certified by their raw material suppliers as meeting FDA requirements in the Code of Federal Registration, 21 CFR 177.1520, for food contact, including cooking applications. Many of the raw materials used in the production of POREX Porous Plastic have been certified by the raw material suppliers as compliant with USP Class VI requirements. Many components have been used in liquid filtration devices that carry NSF certification. In development projects requiring NSF approval, Porex will work in conjunction with the NSF to help usher an application through NSF certification process.
The technical information presented is intended as reference information only and in no way should be regarded as a limit or a constraint to our development capability. The material conditioning processes utilized by Porex to ready a polymer for use in the manufacturing process is considered proprietary. Therefore, Porex does not sell raw material for use in any external operation. Porex maintains a portfolio of intellectual property falling into patented, patent pending, and trade secret categories. Porex's core manufacturing process used for the production of POREX® Porous Plastic is protected by trade secret.
