Die Cutting Tolerances and Tooling Considerations
Tight tolerances are achievable with precision die cutting, but product designers may need to balance tolerances with costs.
Pore Size/ Pore Volume
All Porex® materials contain an intricate network of open- celled, omni directional pores that are distributed consistently throughout the media for a unique combination of diffusion, wicking, filtering, and venting capabilities. When reviewing Porex® material specifications, keep in mind that:
- Pore size is the average size of the voids in the Porous Media
- Pore Volume is the percentage of the material’s air volume at total volume
