Porous Plastic Filtration Solutions from Filterserve

Trusted UK Supplier of Vyon® Porous Plastic Filters

Filterserve proudly supplies high-performance Vyon® porous plastic filters from Porvair Sciences – including sheets, discs, tubes, and custom components. Whether you’re developing a new filtration system or refining a medical device, we can help you to specify the ideal porous plastic solution for your needs.

Vyon® materials are manufactured using precision sintering techniques that create consistent pore structures. This results in excellent filtration, venting, and wicking capabilities across liquids and gases.

Why Choose Vyon® from Filterserve?

Vyon® is available in materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PTFE, each with unique advantages:

  • Chemically inert – withstands harsh environments
  • FDA approved raw materials –  Our Polyethylene Vyon® grades can be manufactured from FDA approved raw materials – the Vyon grades themselves have not been tested by PSL to this standard
  • Naturally Hydrophobic or hydrophilic (treated) – suitable for gas or liquid filtration
  • Rigid, self-supporting structure – no external housing required
  • Customisable porosity and dimensions – tailored to your application
  • Durable and low maintenance – long service life

Applications Across Industries

Vyon® filters are used where performance and reliability matter most:

  • Medical & diagnostic devices
  • Air and gas filtration systems
  • Laboratory equipment and scientific testing
  • Automotive ventilation and fluid systems
  • Food, beverage, and water process filtration
  • Ink, toner, and printing system components

From fluid management to gas dispersion, Vyon® excels in both standard and highly specialised environments.

Custom Manufacturing Capabilities

At Filterserve, we work closely with Porvair Sciences expert team to convert Vyon® rolls and sheets into the exact size, shape, and porosity your project demands. This includes:

  • Precision cut discs – from 3 mm to 1000 mm diameter
  • CNC-machined parts – clean edges, tight tolerances
  • Fabricated tubes – welded, capped, or adapted
  • Sheet rolls and panels – customised thickness and formats

We support projects from prototyping to full-scale production.

Vyon® Product Range

Designed for filtration, wicking, and gas or liquid diffusion, Vyon® discs are ideal for compact assemblies and automated systems.

Key Features:

  • Consistent pore size and high structural integrity
  • Available in hydrophilic or hydrophobic grades
  • Custom-cut to your diameter and thickness
  • Resistant to chemicals, durable, and lightweight

Used widely in medical diagnostics, lab equipment, and precision filtration setups.

Porous plastic tubing offers excellent flow control, fluid absorption, and air or gas dispersion. Vyon® tubing is manufactured with exacting standards to deliver reliable performance in healthcare, industrial, and analytical applications.

Available Options:

  • OD from 1 mm to 20 mm I don’t have a defined MAX OD but we do tubes in > 70mm but most cost effective will be <50mm
  • Tailored lengths and wall thickness
  • Hydrophobic finishes

Our most versatile option, Vyon® porous plastic sheets are perfect for engineers needing a custom filter layer, vent, or support surface. Common uses include cleanroom filtration panels, sample handling, and medical device fabrication.

Benefits:

  • Customisable size, thickness, and porosity
  • Rigid, self-supporting material
  • Can be sterilized for use in sterile environments
  • Easy to bond, weld, or shape

Built to reduce pneumatic noise by up to 30 dB, Vyon® silencers are compact, durable, and ideal for industrial automation and control systems.

  • Screw-in installation (BSP or metric threads)
  • Oil and water-resistant
  • Pressure rated up to 150 psi
  • Sizes: M5 to 1″ BSP and push-fit options
