DIE CUT WICKS

Interstate Specialty Products die cuts custom wicks for medtech, electronics, and industrial applications.

Wicks are made from open-cell materials that use capillary action to transfer fluids. Their porous structures control liquid volume capacity and fluid transfer rates. Through custom engineering, wicking materials can also enhance surface energy or surface tension to affect wetting.

Types of Wicking Materials

Custom wicks are made of thermoplastic materials, porous plastics, and synthetic fibers.

  • Polypropylene wicks withstand steam sterilization.
  • PTFE wicks withstand both steam and ethylene oxide sterilization.
  • PVDF wicks withstand long-term exposure to ultraviolet radiation and can withstand exposure to harsh chemicals
  • Porex® wicks transfer fluids without absorbing them.

Rayon, polyester, and viscose wicks are also available. Ask Interstate Specialty Products which type of wicking material is right for your application.
