Life Science Porous Plastics

M.A. Industries Life Science Porous Plastics - The medical industry utilizes porous plastic parts in a wide range of applications. Life Science Porous Filters allow gases to escape while preventing liquids and chemicals from passing through the filter. Typical applications include pipette filters, medical release patches, catheter and syringe vents. Porous plastics can also be used for their diffusion properties to allow a controlled release of various liquid medications.
Primary resin systems used are polypropylene and polyethylene in pore sizes ranging from 10 -350 um with pore volumes from 30 -70%. Our Cyrogenic Resin Grinding capability allows us to tailor resins and particle sizes to meet customer requirements.
Manufacturing – We are an ISO Certified 9001-2015 state of the art manufacturing facility, with over 25 years of porous plastics processing capabilities, allowing us to handle your production requirements from 1,000 to 10 million parts. We are committed to the Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing Continuous Improvement Process.
Concept to Production Part – Our experienced engineering department with CAD, CAM capabilities can take your project from concept stage through high volume production. We have in-house our prototype and production mold making capability that allows us to turn around prototype parts in days not weeks with the capability to quickly scale to production tooling, streamlining the process from Art to Part.
