RELY ON THE UNIFORMITY AND STRENGTH OF UNI-PORE ™ POROUS
UHMW-PE
Through
a proprietary process, DeWAL produces thin porous films of ultrahigh-molecular-weight
polyethylene (UHMW-PE). These Uni-Pore films uniform pore sizes
in all three axes. The pore size distribution is very uniform,
with nomial values from 50.0 microns to 2.5 microns. The torturous
path through the film creates an efficient filter medium, and
the high chemical resistance of UHMW-PE allows filtration of most
liquids and gases.
Uni-Pore
provides excellent chemical and abrasion resistance with superior
mechanical strength. The material is easily pleatable and die-cuts
cleanly, making it ideal for filter and diagnostic applications.
Uni-Pore is recommended for use at temperatures below 250°F
for diagnostics, filtration, flow control and frit applications.
A
naturally hydrophobic and oleophobic material, Uni-Pore aggressively
absorbs oil, even from oil-water dispersions. Through a proprietary
process, DeWAL can render the material hydrophilic or oleophobic.
