OxyPad® Self-Adhesive Membrane Pads
Ventilation and Protection from Liquid Ingress, Dust, and Dirt – Made Easy
To achieve more reliable, longer-lasting ventilation of your device, OxyPad® self-adhesive membrane pads can be easily integrated to provide ventilation which helps to avoid harmful condensation, ensures pressure equalization, and protects against the ingress of water, dust, or other harmful particulates.
These 100% PFOA- free hydrophobic and oleophobic- treated membrane vents can be incorporated via manual or automated assembly in various standard and customizable sizes with different membrane properties. OxyPad® is available using both unlaminated UNIQUE-MEM® and laminated ROTRAC® membrane technologies.
- 100% Free of PFOA: Compliant with (EC) 1907/2006 REACH / Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 POP
- Precisely defined pore-size and pore-density for unmatched airflow and WEP stability
- Various adhesives available
- Smooth surface properties for excellent liquid repellency
- Space-saving assembly
- Wide variety of customizable design options
- Easily integrated into automatic assembly processes
- Available with backing for increased mechanical stress resistance
- High temperature stability
- High resistance towards pressure changes

Membrane Technologies Available
Technologies
Unique-Mem® Unlaminated Track-Etched Membranes
Unique-Mem® track-etched membranes, available as hydrophilic or hydrophobic, are characterized by cylindrical shaped pores penetrating the membrane in different angles. They have a smooth flat surface and well-defined flow rates..
Technologies
RoTrac® Laminated Track-Etched Membranes
RoTrac® track-etched membranes are Unique-Mem® membranes that are supported with non-wovens (PP or PET) to create a more robust membrane. They are available as either hydrophilic or hydrophobic membranes.
Technologies
Fiber-Based Membranes
Fiber-based membranes are surface modified using a super-hydrophobic coating to repel water and other liquids while still allowing maximum airflow.
