A Perfect-Fit Protection Membrane for Gas Sensor Venting Applications
Increasing requirements in air quality as well as the rising industrial safety demands are driving the need for gas sensor technology that performs reliably, accurately, and for longer lifespans. Whether these be wearables, smart home applications, or industrial applications such as power generation or chemical facilities, a key performance driver of these gas sensors is the track-etched membrane technology which can facilitate faster detection, pressure equalization, and protection against contaminants. Oxyphen utilizes decades of experience to supply track-etched membrane technology with the broadest range of pore sizes and distributions – all while offering the lowest tolerances on the market.
Our unique membranes offer distinct advantages over mechanical vents or physical openings, since intrusion of dust and moisture can be avoided and there are no moving parts that can stick or only work in one direction. Unlike competing track-etched technology, Oxyphen’s membranes will not have affinity to shrinkage or deformation and can withstand temperature fluctuations as well as exposure to most chemicals.
When manufacturers partner with Oxyphen, they can be assured of receiving a consistent membrane permeability that is 100% quality controlled, free of PFOA ingredients, and per their specific application’s pore size, air flow rate, adhesion level, and material requirements.
We look forward to partnering with you on new opportunities – from the conceptual phase to the product launch – so that we can bring your next-generation sensor product to life.
