Porex develops porous plastic components used in the manufacturing of many products for the global electrical and electronics markets. Electronic components, computer and office equipment, telecommunications, consumer appliances, lighting, acoustic, energy generation and storage, and general industrial and commercial electronics are among the many segments we serve.
A common use of porous plastics in electronics is for venting enclosures and housings to keep moisture and dust out while allowing air to flow, or to allow for air displacement so fluid can flow freely. Automotive headlamp assemblies and inkjet printer cartridges are just two examples of typical POREX® Porous Plastics applications. New uses for porous plastics in electronics continue to evolve including highly reflective diffuse surfaces for lighting, diffusion barriers / separators for batteries and fuel cells, thermal management through breathable enclosure skins or conductive polymers, and low dielectric constant materials. Porous plastics' versatility enables a wide variety of applications. Components can be made from numerous base resins with specific property matrices. Typical functionality includes ventilation, wicking, diffusion, filtration, or support for additives within the porous matrix. Specialty functionality includes improved dielectric constant versus solid materials, highly diffuse reflectivity for visible light and high surface area for active thermal management. If you don't see the exact application you're looking for, please contact us to discuss how we may develop a customized product to meet your specific requirements.
