Benefits of Porex® PTFE Hydrophobic Membrane Technology
Porex Virtek® PTFE membrane materials are made from 100% pure PTFE that is free of PFOA. These materials offer a wide range of manufacturing options, including expanded or sintered methods, to meet a variety of venting needs. Porex’s PTFE membranes stand out for their top-notch performance and offer unique benefits across a wide range of applications.
For some of the most challenging medical and industrial applications, Porex’s PTFE membranes can filter particles as tiny as 0.1 microns in environments with temperatures up to 500°F. This waterproof membrane is highly durable and offers excellent resistance to harsh media and corrosive solvents that can affect device operation and overall performance.
Porex PTFE Membrane Applications
Porex membranes are versatile solutions for a variety of applications. They are particularly useful in the medical technology field for filtration applications, where they can be used in sterilization containers to keep out microbes while allowing steam heat to sterilize equipment effectively.
Due to their reliability and durability, PTFE membranes are commonly used for venting applications. They are ideal for use in electrical enclosures, container venting, and diagnostic and medical venting. These membranes are also crucial for ensuring proper diffuse reflectivity, which is essential for uniformly distributing light energy, especially in UVC disinfection devices. They also possess optimal dielectric properties, making them critical in products like antenna systems. With Porex Virtek® PTFE membranes, you can achieve a consistent dielectric constant while maintaining tight thickness tolerances.
