Fairburn, GA—USA (June 25, 2019) – POREX, a global leader in porous solutions, has designed a new line of sensor components that are critical for improving safety and performance for electrochemical gas sensor applications. These POREX® solutions will be unveiled at SENSOR+TEST 2019 at the Nürnberg Exhibition Centre in Hall 5, Booth #5-134, June 25-27in Nϋrnberg, Germany.
The new sensor technology is engineered to enhance sensor performance and manufacturing safety through fast gas diffusion, high capacity gas absorption and safe-to-use materials. POREX components are customizable in shape and size to meet specific sensor application or device needs. The array of components can be seamlessly integrated throughout the manufacturing process, streamlining efficiency and reducing overall costs.
Porex’s solutions can be tailored to meet the necessary demands of a variety of sensor applications including gas absorption to diminish inaccurate readings, effective ingress protection to safeguard the sensor, and fast diffusion for improved response times. In addition, POREX materials can accommodate needs specific to electrolyte holding and wicking to safely facilitate electrolyte chemical reactions and catalyst support for consistent operations with minimal shrinkage.
This suite of porous solutions for electrochemical gas sensors include:
to facilitate the chemical reaction. Engineered for optimal capacity and directional flow, the reservoirs are designed with safe-to-use high release media (HRM) or polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) materials, eliminating the need for glass wool, which can be dangerous when inhaled or cause irritation to the skin.
“Sensors play a major role in our daily lives, providing critical functionality in a variety of life-saving applications,” said Vadim Hunte, Porex’s global strategic marketing director for electronics and automotive. “There is little room for error in sensor performance. We are thrilled to debut our carefully engineered components that help ensure sensors not only perform optimally but feature longer lifespan, greater reliability and improved efficiency.”
