POREX Porous Plastics can be sawed, turned, milled, drilled and punched utilizing conventional machining tools. Care must be taken to keep the surface below the softening point temperature if a porosity is to be maintained.

As a very general starting point, the machinist should begin at slow speeds (the use of carbide tools is recommended) and increase the speed until desired effect is realized.

It Is Important To Note . . .

Porex cannot anticipate or control the conditions under which the technical data and products may be used. Porex does not guarantee the applicability or accuracy of the information or the suitability of our products in any given situation. Unless otherwise noted, the data on service temperatures; softening and melting points; solvent resistance; coefficient of thermal expansion and tensile strength are for the polymer in solid form. All of these properties will be lower from the porous form of the polymer. Users should make their own tests to determine the suitability of each product for their particular application. The products discussed are sold without such warranty, either expressed or implied.
