Screw Protective Vents Materials
ePTFE Membrane
The mainstream material with microporous structure offering exceptional performance:
- Breathability: Excellent air permeability while maintaining waterproofing
- Waterproof Rating: Up to IP67 or IP68 protection level
- Chemical Stability: Resistant to corrosion from various chemicals
- Temperature Range: Withstands extreme temperatures from -200°C to +260°C
Plastic Materials
Commonly used plastic compounds for vent bodies:
Typical composition: PA66 + 25% GF (glass-filled polyamide 66)
- Strength: High mechanical strength for durable construction
- Environment Resistance: Performs well in harsh conditions
- Weight: Lightweight compared to metal alternatives
- Cost: Economical material solution
Metal Materials
Premium materials for demanding applications:
-
Stainless Steel (304):
- High corrosion resistance
- Excellent strength properties
- Withstands high-temperature and high-pressure environments
-
Aluminum Alloy:
- Lightweight construction
- Good corrosion resistance
- Superior heat dissipation performance
Ideal for applications with specific weight and heat dissipation requirements
Silicone
Primary material for sealing components:
- Application: O-ring material in screw protective vents
- Elasticity: Excellent flexibility for effective sealing
- Waterproofness: Prevents water ingress
- Aging Resistance: Long-lasting performance
Ensures reliable sealing against water and dust penetration
PU or TPU Film
Cost-effective alternative materials:
- Cost: More economical than ePTFE
- Performance: Suitable for general waterproof and breathable requirements
- Durability: Slightly inferior to ePTFE but sufficient for many applications
Commonly used in low-end or less demanding applications where basic functionality is acceptable
