  • Porpous PTFE film and a manufacturing method therefor
    Patent number: 5476589
    Abstract: A nonwoven web is described that is a thin porous polytetrafluoroethylene membrane consisting essentially of a nonwoven web having a microstructure of substantially only microfibrils fused at crossover points. It is usually strong, is unusually thin, has unusually small pore sizes, but a very high air flow-through. It has a pore size between 0.05 and 0.4 micrometers; a bubble point between 10 and 60 psi; a pore size distribution value between 1.05 and 1.20; a ball burst strength between 0.9 and 17 pounds/force; an air flow of between 20 Frazier and 10 Gurley seconds; a thickness between 1.0-25.4 micrometer; and a fiber diameter ranging between 5 and 200 nm.
