Porvair to highlight its Vyon materials at COMPAMED

Porvair Sciences - specialists in the design, development and manufacture of porous plastics technologies – will be showcasing the capabilities of its Vyon porous plastic materials at COMPAMED 2021 in Dusseldorf, Germany.

Specialising in filtration and separation of materials for biotechnology, pharmaceutical and life science applications, Porvair Sciences offer bespoke design and engineering expertise to help build outstanding custom OEM product solutions.

On COMPAMED Stand B64 in Hall 13 - specialists will be on hand to answer your questions and describe how significant investment in manufacturing capabilities, has enabled Porvair Sciences to meet high volume customer demands for high quality porous plastic components across the medical device and life sciences markets.

Vyon is a unique, high-performance porous plastic material manufactured from virgin grade plastic polymers, polyethylene (high density and ultra-high molecular weight) and polypropylene. Proprietary sintering conditions produce porous structures composed of tortuous interconnected pathways with minimal dead-end pores. These features offer greater pore distribution, controlled flow of liquids and gases and an ability to create products ideal for filtration, separation, and retention of biological and chemical materials.

From flat discs to 3D moulded structures, Vyon is routinely manufactured into a variety of shapes and sizes to suit a specific application. Tightly controlled manufacturing processes ensure that Vyon porous plastic components are produced with consistent reproducible and controlled critical properties such as thickness, diameter, and porosity. Vyon is a versatile material that can be treated for enhanced cleanliness with low leachables and extractable and rendered hydrophilic or hydrophobic for specific applications.
