Filson Porous Plastics FAQ:
Porous plastic ( here refers to sintered porous plastic ), in simple terms, is a breathable and versatile material applied to various sorts of industrial applications and commercial use. It can be adopted in a lot of different products to achieve different purposes.
Porous plastic is a durable, flexible component that can control the flow of gases, liquids, light or sound by fusing particles together to create this porous and permeable structure. There are numerous micron pores inside and outside the surface of the material to support the function realizing.
You may have a better understanding by giving an example: air freshener is one of its typical application. By using a porous plastic product, the liquid fragrance is slowly diffused into the air. The porous plastic here plays an important role in controlling the flow of liquid.
Porous plastics are made of strong and self-supporting polymers. To reach specific aim and satisfy different application needs, porous plastics can be manufactured using a variety of materials.
The selection of the material is vital to the final performance of the product. You are suggested to choose the right material based on the needs of the end product and your requirements. What’s more, it is a key part to the initial design and engineering process.
The following materials are most frequently used in manufacturing, check and see if they are your desired materials:
1. Polyethylene ( PE )
Polyethylene is the most commonly used material in producing porous plastic product. It has a wide range of micron ratings ranging from 5 micron to 250 micron. Sintered PE can be used in a variety of applications for higher end processing.
2. Polypropylene ( PP )
Polypropylene is suitable for strong applications where need large pore size and robust structure. Standard pore size of sintered PP ranges from 100 micron to 300 micron which can satisfy your specific needs.
3. Polytetrafluoroethylene ( PTFE )
Polytetrafluoroethylene is ideal for applications in need of high temperature and corrosion resistance ( able to withstand high temperature up to 400℉). Besides, sintered PTFE can be made more precisely with accuracy of <1 to 60 micron.
Except for the three materials listed above, polyvinyllidene flouride ( PVDF ), high density polyethylene ( HDPE ), ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene ( UHMWPE ) are also available to be porous plastic materials based on your product’s need.
Contact our professional engineer to define your specifications and select the most suitable material for your application.
Porous plastic is made by a form of sintering. During the sintering process, various porous materials are bonded together by heat and with or without pressure to produce the porous structure.
The temperature of sintering is strictly controlled, so that the plastic material won’t fuse before reaching its melting point.
Basically, three steps are required when make porous plastics:
- Mount the target material into the mold
- Add proper pressure and control proper temperature
- Demould and you will get a compactly constructed product
As one of the leading manufacturers of porous plastic products for air, gas, oil and water in China, Filson designs and engineers plenty forms of porous plastic including standard and custom plastic sheets, rods, discs, tubes and rings.
Sintering has another name called frittage. You may easily get the point of the meaning as the name implies. Sintering is a process to form solid mass including powder, fiber and mesh into a whole to realize the end product’s needs.
The materials experiencing the sintering process will be heated and pressed without melting to the point of liquefaction. The atoms in the materials move, diffuse and finally fuse together into one piece. Sintering can occur naturally in mineral deposits, at the meantime, it is applied to manufacture products using ceramics, metals and plastics.
Porous plastics are so versatile that can be used for all sorts of industrial applications, including chemical industry, pharmaceutical industry, biotechnology, water treatment, chromatography system and aerospace field.
To be specific, porous plastics have the following functions:
1. Filter
Filtration is a basic and crucial benefit brought by porous plastics. In the fields of healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, filtration property is extremely important to reduce cross-contamination issues. Meanwhile, water, oil, air and gas can also be filtered using sintered porous plastic.
2. Wick
Air freshener has to keep a long lasting and consistent performance to deliver stable fragrance to the air. And this can be achieved by using porous plastic products. Customizable solutions are able to realize.
3. Vent
Those sensitive electronics like semiconductors require a high quality and clean manufacturing condition which means they need a component to keep out dust and dirt. Porous plastics are the premier choice. Our materials can be used as fuel cell vents and holding media of separator and isolator.
4. Diffuse
Sintered porous plastics can be used to diffuse gas to the target liquid to accomplish the particular reaction or supply the specific gas to the process liquid to carry on the following step.
In addition to the advantages above, sintered porous plastics are available to be applied to restrain flow and velocity of the fluids to create a uniform flow and a quality product that serves your application.
When it comes to choose the right porous plastics, you are recommended to take multiple factors into consideration. In order not to affect the final product efficiency, you can view these as reference:
1. Pore size
Pore size is the filtration accuracy of your porous plastic. It defines the size of voids in the porous media. Also, it determines the results of the filtration.
2. Porosity
Porosity of porous plastic is a key factor to product manufacturing. The porosity impacts the absorption volume and flow resistance of your part.
3. Working temperature
Be clear about the operating temperature of your processing system. And choose right materials according to the actual conditions.
Note:
operating temperature of some materials:
PE: 180℉ PP: 250℉ PVDF: 300℉ PTFE: 400℉
4. Chemical properties
Quality sintered porous plastics suit almost all environments, but it is still necessary to check if the product will react with some chemicals.
5. With or without annexing agent
If needed, additives and treatments can be used for manufacturing to bring more possibilities, you can contact Filson for more information.
6. Application
Last but not least, the final sintered porous plastic product is going to serve the target application, which means knowing well about your application is quite critical.
Just send the specifications of your required porous plastic and our experienced specialists will give you a satisfactory answer within 8 working hours. If you have some questions, you can also feel free to consult us.
