Heat generated by electrical inefficiencies or from external environmental conditions can lead to premature failure of electrical components. Porex tackles these problems with solutions from porous vents that are designed to allow heat to escape while keeping dust and moisture out to heat conductive porous plastics that are designed to provide enhanced heat flow.
Porous plastics are used in acoustic applications ranging from wind and debris protection to sound dampening. Because Porex can customize the shape, porosity, and base material and additives within our products, very specific results are possible in tackling complex acoustic application challenges.
POREX® Porous Plastics are engineered from various polymers with controlled pore sizes to provide outstanding strength, durability, chemical resistance, resiliency, and design flexibility across multiple applications.
When Porex enabled the rapid production of fiber components from a range of staple (cut) bi-component and specialty fiber materials, it opened the door to numerous new blends and fiber combinations for multiple markets.
Clinical and life science products demand rigorous purity standards, excellent strength and highly stable mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. POREX® Porous Glass Fibers deliver the required results, consistently and precisely.
