Venting Solutions

Tetratex® expanded PTFE membrane microporous films and laminates provide the most effective venting solution for your devices. Tetratex ePTFE films are naturally hydrophobic and can be used as permeable water and dust barriers for venting of sensors, acoustic equipment, medical devices, industrial batteries, electronics and more.

Our ePTFE membranes are available thermobonded to substrates such as polypropylene and polyester to offer a product that is optimally adapted to your venting needs. Donaldson laminates can be treated to repel oils using our patented oleophobic treatment.

Applications
The unique hydrophobic, oleophobic and high filtration efficiency properties of Tetratex have led to use the material in many applications requiring simultaneous pressure relief and liquid barrier properties.
Industrial Batteries
Acoustic Protection - Buzzer Alerts, Outdoor Speaker Phones, Headsets, hands free microphones
Pressure Venting
Sensor Venting – Gas Odour/Oxygen
Today’s sensors are often required to operate in environments detrimental to their reliability. Long-term exposure to airborne contamination such as particles, oil, water, salt water, hydrocarbons, water vapour and acid gases can lead to signal error, calibration drift and finally, sensor failure. Tetratex membranes provide the most cost-effective sensor contamination control solutions available.
