Genuine Porex®: When performance counts.

talk to us about your needs ›

Porex has designed and supplied sintered porous plastic components to the automotive industry since the early 1970s. We designed and developed the first concept of utilizing a porous plastic vent as a flame arrestor for lead-acid batteries, which was a significant safety advancement.

Today, automotive industry OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) across the world use Genuine PorexTM components for the design flexibility, part durability, and excellent functionality that our porous plastic parts deliver in these demanding applications.

If you don't see the exact component you're looking for, please contact us to discuss how we may develop a product application to meet your specific needs.

Battery Vents

POREX® Battery Vents are single and multiple component flame arrestors designed to provide a durable, cost-effective solution that meets all technical and performance requirements of commercial lead-acid batteries. In addition to preventing sparks from entering the battery, battery vents provide controlled airflow, venting, and optimized back pressure, reducing the risk of acid spillage and aerosol emissions. The battery vents can be assembled using heat welding processing.
