RoTrac® Laminated Track-Etched Membranes
Laminated Membranes for Increased Robustness, Weldability and Stress Resistance
RoTrac® laminated track-etched membranes are based on Unique-Mem® membrane technology – which consists of a single, unsupported PET or PC membrane layer – but supplemented with an additional PP or PET non-woven supporting layer.
This non-woven layer provides increased robustness and weldability properties along with outstanding mechanical stress resistance. For challenging assembly conditions, increased mechanical rigidity is particularly beneficial for membrane handling.
The laminates are adhesive-free and created by thermal bonding for greater purification. RoTrac® laminated membranes are available in various thicknesses and custom dimensions – and can be treated with hydrophilic, hydrophobic, or oleophobic properties depending on your needs.
All Oxyphen membranes are 100% PFOA free and can be used freely in accordance with the latest REACH legislation from July 4, 2020.
Highlighted Case Study
Automotive Headlamp Venting
A manufacturer of automotive lighting equipment came to Oxyphen to develop and design a hydrophobic membrane venting solution that would address four key design challenges – ingress protection, adequate airflow to prevent condensation, customized temperature requirements, and easy assembly.
