POROSTAR®
POROSTAR® is a multi-layered woven wire laminate. Each specification is constructed using individual layers of woven wire that become fused following a specific sintering process.
While this sintering process bonds the mesh layers together at each contact point, the geometric structure of each layer specification is preserved. This leaves you with a stable filter plate outfitted with calculated pore profiles, porosity, and permeability.
With its ability to be welded and formed, POROTAR is ideal for filtration and fluidizing applications in industries such as chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, plastic, food, automobile, mechanical engineering, and many others. This is especially true when its corrosion-resistant qualities are considered.

Filtration Ultimate Guide
What Is POROSTAR?
POROSTAR wire mesh laminate can have variating layer configurations and has proven to excel in solid-liquid filtration and hot gas filtration applications.
Specifications
Porostar®-Standard
POROSTAR spec is used in filter sheets and cylinders. It is designed with five or six layers and is especially suitable for unbalanced loads.
Porostar®-Light
POROSTAR spec suitable for the manufacturing of pleated filter cylinders and discs with very small diameters, e.g., 2.5 mm, and is composed of three woven wire cloth layers.
Porostar®-HIFLO
Because of its important flow capacity, Porostar® HIFLO is especially suitable for sieving and filtering methods using minimized pressures. Each woven wire cloth layer has square meshes.
Porostar®-Combi
POROTAR spec is suitable for high pressures even in reverse-direction flow. Woven wire cloth layers and a perforated metal plate are bonded by sintering. Porostar®-Combi is available in standard type and in special types of light or HIFLO as well. The number of layers and the thickness of the perforated metal plate are variable.

Essential Product Information For You
Custom Layer Configurations For Peak Performance
Integrating POROSTAR means accuracy, durability, and screening capacity is of the utmost importance. To ensure you achieve desirable results, it is critical that you select the correct.
Selecting The Right Laminate Is Key
Woven wire laminates come in many variations, each with their own beneficial qualities. Distinguishing between solutions like POROSTAR and PLYMESH can be the difference between success and failure.
Operate With Minimal Downtime
Wear and tear happens. This means faults are to be expected when working with POROSTAR. Fortunately, in most cases, the material can be repairs with relative ease.
