Materials

Our lightweight and versatile Vyon® porous plastics are available in a variety of different thermoplastic base materials; High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). These base materials exhibit a range of chemical resistance, strengths, densities and thermal properties that can be manufactured to create Vyon® products to tight specifications and requirements.

Proprietary sintering conditions produce porous plastic composed of tortuous interconnected pathways with minimal dead-end pores. This technology offers tighter control over pore sizing, regulating the flow of liquids and gases, resulting in products ideal for filtration, separation, and retention of biological and chemical materials.
