Porelle Bicomponent membranes
Typically the requirements for most market applications can be met by a single membrane system. However, we sometimes come across specialist applications where there is a diverse range of requirements that cannot be met by any one single membrane technology. A solution to this can be a bicomponent membrane.
Porelle bicomponent membranes are hybrid systems in which two membrane technologies have been combined together. The advantage of bicomponent membranes is that they can offer the combined benefits of both the membranes to create a unique single product.

Porelle PTFE membranes
As part of the bicomponent membrane range we also offer Porelle PTFE membranes.
Uncoated PTFE membranes are available in the market. However, these can be prone to leakage problems in use due to contamination of either body oils from sweat or washing agents during the laundry process. These contaminants can change the surface tension of the PFTE, which then allows water to wick through in use.
We offer Porelle PTFE membranes combined with novel cross-linked surface coating. This ensures enhanced wash and waterproofness in use. The function of the cross-linked coating is to stop contamination of the PTFE structure. In addition it can enhance other properties such as chemical and viral resistance.
