Vyon® Breathable Plastic
Vyon® porous media is manufactured from sintered high density polyethylene sheet and is commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical applications. It has a uniform pore structure giving an even total area fluidisation. It is self-supporting due to its semi-rigid nature, thereby reducing the need for the external support structures that are required with canvas and felt media.
Applications: fluidising beds, filtration, aeration, separation, venting, hoppers, linings, chutes and cones.
Food and Pharmaceutical – sugar, flour, milk powder, paracetamol, vitamins.
Industrial and Construction – cement, gypsum, soda/fly ash, coal dust.
Chemical and Plastics - titanium dioxide, carbon black, calcium carbonate, polyethylene powder
Key Features
Lightweight and self supporting - does not require complex expensive support structures
Even air flow - Vyon® is made with a controlled and consistent distribution of pores throughout and does not stretch or flex during use, thereby ensuring uniform flow.
Non fibre shedding - unlike canvas and felt, Vyon® does not shed fibres and is, therefore, ideally suited for food and pharmaceutical applications.
Low extractables - manufactured from ultra clean, USP Class VI approved raw materials that will not adversely contaminate the powder being fluidised.
Naturally hydrophobic - acts as a moisture barrier to help prevent the transfer of moisture when using factory compressed air supplies.
Chemically inert - both HDPE and PP exhibit broad chemical compatibility and are naturally chemically inert.
Material versatility - can be easily welded to itself or non porous plastics, to form larger sheets or aeration cones, either during manufacture or on a customers site.
Easy to clean - can be effectively cleaned in situ by either washing or by back flushing Epoxy and polyester paint powders.
Temperature: -70ºC up to +80ºC
