Porex Virtek® PTFE Membrane: Engineering Performance from Concept to Production 

Date: Wednesday, July 22, 2026

Event Summary

Use of porous membranes in demanding applications requires more than selecting the right material. Membrane structure, processing methods, and manufacturing considerations all play a critical role in determining performance characteristics such as permeability, durability, chemical resistance, thermal stability, and long-term reliability. 

In this webinar, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how sintered porous PTFE membranes are designed, engineered, and scaled for commercial applications. Through an exploration of material science and manufacturing principles, attendees will gain insight into the engineering factors that drive PTFE membrane performance, durability, and reliability. 

Participants will also learn about the key stages involved in translating a membrane concept into a manufacturable solution, including material selection, membrane development, conversion technologies, and scale-up considerations. You’ll gain insight into how membrane structures and processing approaches can be tailored to achieve targeted performance characteristics, and how Porex partners with customers throughout development to help transform application requirements into scalable solutions. Real-world examples from medical, electronics, and automotive applications will illustrate how sintered porous PTFE membranes help address challenges related to filtration, venting, protection, and system reliability in demanding operating environments. 

Join us to learn how Virtek® PTFE combines material expertise, advanced manufacturing, and scalable production capabilities to bring high-performance membrane solutions from concept to commercialization.
