Filter Coating Technology

Our filter coating treatments enable optimized performance of specialty filters utilized in a wide variety of applications, including medical. Options for coating filters include hydrophilic coatings and/or repellent (hydrophobic/oleophobic) surface coatings which can be utilized to significantly alter the surface behavior. Solutions are easy-to-apply scalable treatments that can bond with a wide array of surfaces utilized in common filter applications. Together we create winning filters!

Filter Coatings. Hydrophilic Filters. Hydrophobic Filters.

Aculon® has a variety of surface coating technologies capable of functionalizing countless filter types to have altered behavior. This can be accomplished without traditional vacuum deposition, cure steps, or other complicated processes. These ultra thin treatments are easily applied via  variety of liquid phase technologies and application methods. Both Repellent (hydrophobic & oleophobic) and hydrophilic (water attracting) technologies are available and can be utilized independently or in conjunction with each other to create the desired effect.

  • Desire to prevent certain liquids from passing
  • Material is wicking in an undesired fashion
  • Material is not wicking as desired
  • Liquid interaction with filter is not ideal

Filter Coating Platforms

Our repellent technologies for filters will yield a robust and long lasting hydrophobic and oleophobic surface. Typical water contact angles (measurement of surface energy) are in the 115°-120° range and typical oil contact angles are in the 75°-85° range. These treatments are nanoscale, as thin as 2-4 nm thin leaving your part visually unchanged and optically clear. These materials can be applied via numerous liquid phase methods. A self assembling process ensures a uniform and even treatment every time!

Our hydrophilic technologies are thin and optically clear and will yield a robust and long lasting hydrophilic surface. Typical water contact angles (measurement of surface energy) are in the <10° range. Common uses include creating water wetting surfaces that will draw liquids to desired areas. These materials can be applied via numerous liquid phase application methods. A self assembling process ensures a uniform and even treatment every time!
