Surfaces exposed to moisture, oils and other contaminants need protection to prevent physical damage or performance issues. TTG has expanded PTFE (ePTFE) membrane and laminate solutions for the microventing industry to protect sensitive surfaces and components in your products.
What Is Microventing?
Microventing uses laminates, membranes and films to create a hydrophobic barrier on surfaces. These products have a proprietary microporous structure with small, randomly connected fibrils and pore sizes invisible to the naked eye. The microporous film creates a naturally hydrophobic membrane.
Microventing films allow for optimal air, oil and water permeability, and they serve as a barrier to environmental factors that could damage the product, like dirt, dust and water. Oleophobic treatments can also make the film repel oils. With microventing, your components can last longer and be protected from contaminants.
Purposes of Microventing
Microventing solutions offer these qualities as an ePTFE laminate:
- Contaminant resistance: ePTFE laminates block dust particles and repel oil, so sensitive electronics can remain reliable in environments with prominent oil contamination and dust accumulation.
- Waterproofing: The ePTFE membrane serves as a barrier against liquids like water to protect the integrity and performance of your product.
- Pressure equalizing: The laminate maintains balanced pressures between the internal and external environments of your device while preventing contaminants from affecting its performance.
- UV protection: ePTFE membranes for microventing can block UV rays to prevent the surface from degrading or deteriorating due to solar radiation, ensuring your product lasts longer.
- High temperature resistance: ePTFE films make an effective thermal barrier to withstand high temperatures in some operating environments. This barrier protects your product from heat damage that could affect its performance.
- Chemical corrosion resistance: ePTFE laminates with microventing technology resist corrosion from chemicals and solvents to protect your sensitive components from potential damage.
