Poreflon

Engineered Fluoropolymer Products

Industry Leadership
Extruded and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was developed by Sumitomo Electric Industries in 1960 as an advanced wire and cable insulating material. Possessing superior chemical and thermal resistance properties, PTFE ensured the high dielectric strength and long-term physical stability demanded by high performance wire insulation.

Further development revealed that by carefully controlling the base materials and manufacturing processes, a wide range of microporosity and void volumes could be repeatedly and consistently produced. By varying the void volume, thickness, open porosity and strength, Poreflon materials were processed into form factors optimized for filter media, moisture barriers, vents, gas diffusers, sealing materials, and a wide range of industrial and bio-technical applications.

After more than 45 years of continuous development, Sumitomo Electric offers the widest range of expanded PTFE performance capabilities. Controlled open porosities between 25 & 90% Micron ratings of 10M down to nanofiltration

Narrow-spread IPA bubble points of 10 to over 470 kPa Multiple form factors, including flat sheet, hollow fiber,
pre-configured modules, rope, tape & many others

Naturally hydrophobic or with hydrophilic surface modification

Poreflon Microporous Products


Previously, PTFE filtration membrane was used for its chemical and temperature resistance, at the expense of flow rate and particle retention. Poreflon PTFE microporous membrane sets new standards in open porosity and narrow pore size distribution. Additional manufacturing processes enhance the strength of the membrane, affording integrity at thinner cross sections, further improving flow and retention characteristics. Poreflon Microporous Membrane

Processed from electronics-grade materials to exacting standards, Poreflon PTFE microporous products offer near-undetectable extractables, trace ionics, and are non-shedding.
Liquid & gas cartridge filters Gas transfer membranes Syringe & laboratory filter devices Moisture barriers & fabrics Breather vents Flow regulators Instruments & sensors Dielectric spacers & membranes Catalyst carrier

Poreflon microporous tube retains all of the advantages of PTFE, with additional processes increasing mechanical strength, to meet a wide range of industrial applications. Low porosity versions are used as encapsulants and dielectrics, while high open porosities are specified to meet the high flow, high strength demands of backwashable microfiltration and nanofiltration applications. The chemical resistance and low friction coefficient of PTFE work together to reduce fouling, and lend higher cleaning efficacy in bundled arrays, resulting in lower operating costs over the life of the system.

Poreflon Sealing Products


Poreflon PT Tape and FT Rope sealants are made of specially processed PTFE, offering superior cleanliness, temperature and chemical resistance. Controlled elongation, high strength and superior uniformity make Poreflon sealing products quick and easy to use over a broad range of OEM, industrial and consumer applications. Combining the wide chemical and thermal resistance of pure PTFE with high strength and conformability, Poreflon PT and FT sealants ensure effective gas and liquid sealing in the most demanding applications. Poreflon PT Tape

Offered in multiple roll widths & lengths, Poreflon PT Tape is the preferred joint sealant for threaded pipe connections. Strong and highly conforming, Poreflon PT Tape seals even poorly cut threads in metal or plastic, and guarantees a leak-proof seal under extreme pressures and temperatures.
One formula for liquid and gas applications Stable under extreme temperature and chemical exposure Pure non-shedding PTFE for ultrapure applications Non-tearing for ease of installation Visual tape remaining indicator

Poreflon FT Rope sealant can replace a wide range of custom-fit gaskets, eliminating the need to stock specific gasket sizes and materials. Made of high-elongation PTFE, Poreflon FT Rope sealant conforms and compresses between the mating surfaces, forming a quick, durable seal.
Each size covers a wide range of flange diameters One formula for liquid and gas applications Stable under extreme temperature and chemical exposure Precision-controlled elongation and conformity Available with tack strip to ease installation

Poreflon PTFE Hollow Fiber & Filtration Modules


Global water scarcity and environmental concerns are driving a new generation of reclamation technologies and systems designed to separate fresh water from contaminants. Membrane based separation systems minimize the need for chemical addition while reducing the number of moving parts and energy-consuming stages. Membranes used in industrial and municipal treatment systems require precise particle retention characteristics, and must be durable and robust for consistent long-term performance, even after years of backwashing and chemical cleaning.

Poreflon PTFE hollow fiber sets new standards in flow, durability and strength. Resistant to most waste streams and cleaning agents, Poreflon hollow fiber has precisely controlled porosity, allowing optimization to the suspended solid while maximizing flux. Proprietary manufacturing processes increase mechanical strength, ensuring consistent recovery post cleaning, and integral end terminations for the life of the system.

SEIP offers Poreflon hollow fiber products, in complete assembled modules, or pre-potted bundles to meet your application needs. Together we can specify the right Poreflon product for your upcoming or retrofit project.
