Cobetter Sintered Porous PTFE is porous format PTFE plastic. It is molded through high temperature and high pressure molding. This process does not cause melting or changing the major properties of the material itself, but creates a uniform porous structure. Sintered PTFE is composed of pure Polytetrafluoroethylene PTFE material, without any adhesive, and possesses the natural hydrophobicity, outstanding strength, high temperature resistance and high chemical stability of PTFE material itself.
Through the molding process, the structure design of sintered PTFE has great resilience and flexibility. Cobetter can design and manufacture PTFE materials into 2D and 3D structure components and support various customized shapes, providing customers in different industries with integrated product solutions from R&D to large-scale production. We can provide sheets, rolls, plates and other customized-specific formats (such as rods, tubes, nibs, etc).
Sintered PTFE filter is naturally hydrophobic, which can prevent the passage of liquid under a certain pressure, while allowing free passage of gas. These can be adjusted and achieved by changing the sintered pore size. We provide sintered PTFE with different pore sizes to meet the actual needs of different applications.

Typical Application 3. Gas Diffusion PTFE Filter |
The porous structure of sintered PTFE can diffuse gas uniformly and efficiently. In Medical drug delivery applications such as atomizing inhalation drug therapy, the high-precision pore size characteristics of the PTFE sintered filter element can optimize dosage accuracy and deliver consistent drug dose release, ensure the safe filtration of drug. The use of the sintered filter element also prevents cross-contamination. The filter is compression molded, with variety of structures available, such as tube, cylinder, sheet, etc., as well as customized sizes. Regular applications include oxygen moisture bottles, nasal inhalers, spray pumps, drug delivery reservoirs, etc.
