We manufacture filter powders that are specially atomized to achieve the highly irregular shapes essential for precise filtration performance. Available in a range of particle size distributions, our powders are used in sintered porous metal filters for liquid and gas filtration.
Filtering powder alloys include
stainless steels,
nickels, and super alloys such as
Hastelloys®, Monels®, Inconels®, all engineered in tightly controlled particle sizes ranging from 10 to 250µm.
Filter Products and Sizes
We collaborate with customers to develop both standard and custom filter powders that meet exacting specifications. Typical alloys and sizes include:
- Grades: 316L, Hastelloy® (C-22, C-276, C, B, X), iron alumindes (FAS), Ni-200, and Inconel® (IN-600, IN-625).
- Sizes: Offered in over 25 particle size "cuts," ranging from coarse (~20 Mesh) to fine (10 Micron), with tightly controlled distributions.
Material selection is influenced by the fluid medium's corrosiveness and the targeted flow rates, ensuring optimal performance in demanding environments.
Filter Powder Expertise
Our expertise in achieving narrow particle size distributions and precise particle shapes enables filter manufacturers to design custom pore sizes and flow restrictions critical to their customers' applications.
With the industry's most extensive range of powder cuts and alloys, we bring unparalleled experience in controlling:
- Chemistry for optimized performance
- Particle Size Distribution tailored to application needs
- Morphology and Apparent Density for superior filtration
- Green Strength to ensure durability during processing
Filter Powder Advantages
Our filtering powders are engineered to deliver the performance, versatility, and reliability your filtration applications demand.
- Highly Irregular Morphology: Uniquely suited for precise filtration applications, ensuring superior performance
- Low Apparent Density (AD): Enables customers to press parts to low densities, achieving controlled porosity. The irregular morphology also provides enhanced strength at lower green densities, allowing green parts to be handled without risk of damage.
- Extensive Product Range: A wide portfolio of grades and tightly controlled Particle Size Distributions (PSD) across numerous "cuts."
- Flexible Ordering: Short lead times and small minimum order quantities, starting as low as 100 lbs.
Filter Powder Applications
Our precision filter powders are used in a variety of industrial and specialty filtration systems in mission critical environments.
Industrial / Chemical Processing Industry (CPI)
Our filter products operate in demanding chemical filtration systems in highly corrosive environments, including petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor production.
Medical
In healthcare, our atomized filter powders are vital for critical flow control and filtration components in life-saving ventilator units.
These powders are used in porous flow restrictors that regulate ventilator oxygen flow, designed to withstand high pressures while remaining clog-free to ensuring reliable performance.
