TEKPORE® PROPERTIES
THE MAIN PROPERTIES OF GUARNIFLON® POROUS PTFEPorous PTFE grades are produced from suspension PTFE powders and specifically they are a mixture of different particle size distributions and hardness degrees to achieve the desired level of porosity.
Taking advantage of the up-to-date technologies and know-how used to process sintered PTFE products, Guarniflon® has developed different grades of porous PTFE with the following main properties:
- Air flow rates: up to 20 l/hr/cm2 at 20 mbar
- Water intrusione pressure (WIP): up to 1,2 bar
- Water intrusione pressure (WIP): up to 1,2 bar
