Personal Care Device Protection

Track-Etched Membrane Technology Provides Maximum Protection

Venting solutions
Track-etched membrane technology provides protection personal care devices used in wet conditions.
Track-etched membrane technology provides protection and dependable pressure equalization for battery-powered personal care devices used in wet conditions.

Personal care devices such as electric toothbrushes, shavers or epilators are often used under humid or wet conditions. To ensure continued functioning of the device, Oxyphen’s track-etched membrane solutions provide protection against water and other contaminant media. In addition, they are designed for dependable pressure equalization when heat and off-gassing occur from batteries during operation. This can help to avoid potentially dangerous over-pressurization within the device that can lead to premature failure.
