Porostar is a woven wire cloth laminate. Its individual woven wire cloth layers are closely sinter-bonded together by diffusion. This close diffusion results from a second thermal treatment after the first sintering process. The Duo-Sinter technique used in the manufacturing of Porostar leads to the diffusion of all wires in contact with one another. A stable, porous filter plate is thus created, with predetermined characteristics in terms of pore-size, pore-distribution, porosity and permeability.

• Applications include filtration and chemical processing in pressure vessels.
• Porostar Standard- designed with 5 or 6 layers and suitable for most filter applications.
• Porostar Light- for manufacturing of pleated filter cylinders and discs.
• Porostar Hiflo- for sieving and filtering methods requiring low pressures.
• Porostar Combi- for high pressure applications which may require intermittent flow (backwash) operation.
• Available in stainless steel and other special corrosion resistant alloys.
• W.S. Tyler engineering will custom design filters for new and retrofit applications
