Hydrophilic Porous Ceramics meet demanding pressure and high temperature conditions with consistent pore structures and uniform hydraulic conductivity. The open pore structure provides a convoluted path of interconnecting networked channels, allowing complete flow throughout the material for migrating liquids and or gases. Their naturally wettable and durable properties are valued in long term applications and where capillarity and flow characteristics must remain constant. Used in filtration, diffusion, aeration, venting, and muffling applications, as well as for measuring and sampling processes, Porous Ceramics exhibit excellent strength, with low electrical and thermal conductivity, plus corrosion resistance and high wear at elevated temperatures and pressures. They are generally inert, reusable and cleanable, and will not oxidize or leak below their bubbling pressure. Non-shedding and environmentally safe, they can be cleaned conventionally or in a burnout oven, and sterilized with straight heat, steam or gas Ethylene Oxide.
