Structural component manufacture

Our Vyon^® material is used on composite cutting vacuum hold down tables as a sacrificial component in the manufacturing process, protecting the table.

The material was originally developed in this application for civil aircraft manufacture.

Features and benefits

• Minimised surface contamination of composite  
• Manufacturing cost reduction
• Strong lightweight and self-supporting
  A versatile material that can be manufactured in a variety of shapes and sizes.
• Narrow controlled pore size distribution
  A very efficient and effective filtration material.
• High and even porosity
  Low pressure drop and even flow.
• Chemically inert
  Resistant to many chemicals making it suitable for many applications.

Forms

Our Vyon^® sintered porous plastic materials offer excellent chemical compatibility, exceptional strength and are resistant to most acids, bases, many organic chemicals and temperatures up to 110ºC (230ºF). 

Produced in both sintered porous polyethylene and polypropylene, materials are available in:

• Roll
• Sheet
• Cut shapes
• Cones
• Moulded formats.
