Poroplate® laminates are multilayer composites of selected wire cloths, perforated sheets and fiber metal felts permanently bonded together through a  proprietary diffusion bonding process.  The material that results has far greater strength, abrasion resistance and filtration characteristics than can be obtained from a single layer of fine mesh.

Purolator Facet Inc. originally invented Poroplate® laminates and has been manufacturing this material for over 30 years.  This experience enables us to supply standard and custom products to users worldwide.

Features

High strength No media migration Continuous operating temperature range of -50°C to 550°C (-65°F to 1000°F) Stainless steel construction Corrosion resistant Filtration from 1 micron to 200 micron Custom configurations including layers of perforated plate, fiber metal felts and photo-etched foil
