Different Types of Porous Technologies
Explore the five different types of proprietary porous technology platforms that our engineers leverage to design and manufacture custom porous components for your products.
Sintered Porous Plastics
Engineered from various polymers with controlled pore sizes to provide outstanding strength, durability, chemical resistance, resiliency, and design flexibility across multiple applications.
Porous Fiber
Fibers are bonded together to create two-dimensional cross-sections and extruded to create three-dimensional shapes. A blend of polymeric fibers bonded together for ideal fluid handling capillary structures.
Porous Foam
A two-step pre-polymer process that uses customized blends of raw materials through a clean polyurethane process without the use of catalysts offers a wide range of softness, densities, and porosities.
Membranes
Variety of porous membrane solutions that use controlled processes to ensure consistent and repeatable pore structures, including sintered PTFE, Oxyphen track-etched, and PES membranes.
