Filtration & Energy
|
P2i’s liquid repellent nano-coating technology enhances porous and micro-porous filtration membranes, particularly reusable filtration membranes, for a wide range of application sectors including biosciences, industrial processing, laboratory testing, food and beverage, electronics and water treatment. In addition, it presents numerous opportunities in renewable power such as solar energy and fuel cells. |

In filtration media, our technology enhances performance by increasing oil and water repellency while maintaining pore size distribution and airflow. The technology evenly permeates every exposed surface of finished filter structures and is not limited to specific materials, allowing filtration products to perform at a much higher level in their intended application. Our technology can also improve working efficiencies, particulate capture rates and reliability of filters, particularly in harsh environments.
Benefits include:
• Repellency to heptane and beyond in the manufacturing process
• Pore size remains unchanged resulting in no loss of airflow
• Allows more sustainable forms of filtration media (e.g. cellulose) to perform as well as, or even better, than more traditional and expensive media (e.g. PTFE)
• Improved cake release
• Improved working efficiencies and reliability
Liquids, dirt and staining can alter the sensitive properties of solar cells and engineered glass, degrading performance. P2i’s technology can radically improve the performance of these products by resisting water, frost and dirt collection on the surface. Molecularly bound to the product surface at a nanoscopic level, it does not affect the delicate optical properties of the cells and extends the range of environments in which these technologies can be deployed.
Benefits include:
• Allows renewable technologies to be used in a wider range of climates
• Reduces or eliminates the need for in-field cleaning and maintenance
• Improves working efficiencies
