Diffusion is the process by which something gets distributed into a broader environment such as when a fragrance release product allows for a scent to be diffused into the air in a room. It is also an important function in dissipating a waste product or even spreading something used in manufacturing. Porex has a long history of designing and manufacturing porous plastic and porous fiber solutions utilized in a variety of sparging and diffusion applications in both industrial and consumer markets and bioscience. Utilizing our material science and design expertise, POREX® products are designed so that the diffusion media – which are comprised of omni-directional matrices – yield a consistent, evenly distributed vapor release. Our diffusion and sparging products are custom engineered for manufacturers to meet specific end-use performance requirements with the industry standard in performance, durability, and design flexibility.

Problems that diffusion can solve:

• Getting consistent release of an air freshener scent or insecticide into a room
• Delivering an even spread of oxygen or other process gas into a system
• Ensuring an even dispersion of light onto a surface or into a focus area
• Getting a liquid, gas or particles moved into a uniform distribution to aid in a process
