Hyper-Sintered HST ePTFE Membrane and Tubing



Phillips Scientific Inc., a manufacturer of ePTFE Products located in Rock Hill, SC introduces Hyper-SinteredTM HSTTM ePTFE Membrane & ePTFE Tubing made using proprietary and Patent Pending methods.

The 1000X SEM of the HSTTM ePTFE Membrane surface reveals its unique structure. The uniformly distributed, high density layer on the membrane surface interconnects like a jig-saw puzzle with missing pieces to improve the membrane strength, lower the coefficient of friction, and provide bonding sites for better lamination to polymer non-wovens or film.

HSTTM ePTFE Membrane offers proven and significant advantages over previous ePTFE membranes including:

Higher Tensile Strength

Lower Coefficient of Friction

Higher Light Transmittance

Better Bonding & Lamination to Other Polymers

Tighter Pore Size

Good Flow Properties

HSTTM ePTFE Tubing offers:

Higher Tensile Strength and Pressure Range

Lower Coefficient of Friction

Virtually Seamless Wall

Ultra-Thin Wall
