We offer Porous Sintered Filter Elements in
various shapes and sizes Viz., Discs, Domes, and Hollow Cylinders
for filtration of Water, Air and Chemicals. The separation
mechanism of Filter Elements is primarily due to deep-bed
filtration. The materials of construction are inert polymer alloys
to suit the operational conditions like fluid medium, temperature
and pressure as well as high chemical resistance. The Filter
Elements are available in pore sizes ranging from 1-250 microns.
[Nominal Rating]
The material used is a free-sintered
material that produces porous plastic products with excellent
filtration efficiency of fine solid particulate combined with
excellent flow ability of liquids and gases. Controlled particle
size distribution and a precise temperature cycle are used to
produce a wide range of interconnected cell structures and
specific pore size ranges. These pore structures are designed and
controlled to function in a variety of applications such as
filtering, wicking, diffusing or venting gases, and sound
muffling.
The material used is naturally hydrophobic,
however, the material can be treated to produce hydrophilic
properties allowing wicking of aqueous solutions. In addition,
special formulations of FILTRAPORE can act as a self-sealing
material in the presence of aqueous solutions.
Porous plastics retain most of the physical
properties of their solid counterparts, but also offer a unique
set of properties. The unique "tortuous filtration path"
of the material produces high filtration efficiency combining the
properties of both surface and depth filters. Porous plastics have
excellent resiliency; high physical strength and lightweight
providing a rugged easily handled part. Filtration efficiencies of
99.8% can be achieved.
