Space

We supply a comprehensive range of filter media, assemblies and filter elements for use within the Space Industry. Applications include:

• Vehicle launch propulsion
• Orbit-insertion
• Station-keeping (attitude and environmental control)
• Composite manufacture

Effective filtration and material compatibility is vital to ensure that all systems are free from contaminants. High performance is essential to meet and exceed expectations, guaranteeing safety, long service life, reliability and cost effectiveness in the most demanding of situations.  

Our unrivalled experience and extensive materials range ensures that we can supply a fully engineered solution for vehicle launch, control and manufacturing applications. 

We can custom engineer solutions for the most demanding applications using porous PTFE membrane, Sinterflo^® F sintered metal fibre and Sinterflo^® P sintered powder metal media and Vyon^® porous plastics.
