Advantages of Porous Plastic Materials

Key Benefits of Porous Plastics

Porous plastics are known for their resiliency, high physical strength, and lightweight nature. These attributes make them ideal for creating rugged, easily handled parts. Key benefits include:

  • Lower Cost
  • Inexpensive Tooling
  • Repeatable Performance with Controlled Porosity
  • Sterilizable
  • Chemically Resistant to Most Acids, Bases, Solvents, and Hydrocarbons
  • Excellent Corrosion Resistance
  • High Purity with FDA/USDA Approved Resins
  • High Strength and Light Weight for Easy Assembly
  • Dual Filtration Capabilities as Both Surface and Depth Filters
  • Hydrophilic, Hydrophobic, or Self-Sealing Properties

Benefits of GenPore’s Porous-Poly

GenPore’s Porous-Poly is a free-sintered material that provides excellent filtration efficiency of fine particulate matter while maintaining superior flowability of liquids and gases. Controlled particle size distribution and precise temperature cycles produce a range of interconnected cell structures and specific pore sizes.

Application Versatility

Porous-Poly is naturally hydrophobic but can be treated for hydrophilic properties, making it suitable for wicking aqueous solutions. Special formulations can even act as self-sealing materials in the presence of liquids.

Porous plastics maintain most physical properties of solid plastics but offer unique benefits such as a tortuous filtration path, resulting in high filtration efficiency up to 99.8%.
