Protect and enhance your sensor’s performance with innovative porous polymers.
POREX® Gas-Specific Absorbing Filters improve absorption capacity. POREX proprietary manufacturing processes allow for loading of absorbents, additives or catalysts within the glass fiber porous matrix that will absorb or react with unwanted gases.
POREX® Activated Carbon Filters eliminate carbon cloth shedding and increase absorption capacity
POREX advanced activated carbon filters are a very clean, durable alternative to carbon cloth and carbon trapped within alternative non-woven media. In addition to general organics, POREX activated carbon filters also efficiently absorb low molecular weight alcohols such as ethanol which can cause false measurements by carbon monoxide (CO) detectors.
POREX® Reservoirs eliminate hazardous glass wool. Electrolyte reservoirs and wicks are needed to retain and deliver an electrochemical system’s electrolyte to facilitate the chemical reaction. POREX fiber and foam media can be used for reservoirs, general wicking, and supporting of fluids within electronics and sensors. Engineered for optimal capacity and directional flow, our electrolyte reservoirs and wicks minimize inhalation and skin hazards through the use of safe-to-use polypropylene and polyethylene and meet your custom specifications.
POREX Virtek™ PTFE Membrane Materials improve sensor response time. POREX Virtek microporous PTFE membrane is manufactured via a proprietary sintering process. POREX Virtek PTFE allows for faster diffusion of target gases improving the response time of the sensor and leading to faster detection. POREX Virtek diffusion rate does not change when handled as it does with ePTFE products. POREX Virtek PTFE is inert and does not require scrim support that could absorb or desorb (release) gases, thereby causing slower or false readings.
