Specifically designed for home heating efficiency, our filters:
- Offer high flow rates to optimize filtration efficiency.
- Save replacement time – Threaded base makes it easier to connect cartridge when replacing spent filters.
- Improve performance of home heating systems – Designs can be customized with multiple shapes, sizes and filtration efficiency options.
Fuel Vents for Marine
Reduce hydrocarbon emissions with oleophobic marine vents
Manufacturers of marine and small engines around the world trust POREX® oleophobic vents as a key system component to comply with EPA standards for reducing hydrocarbon emissions. With its functional design, these oleophobic vents will not absorb fuel or allow the passage of fuel through the vent, but will allow for optimal air-flow exchange between the fuel tank and the hydrocarbon absorbing system.
Our oleophobic vents:
- Provide optimal air-flow exchange – Deliver optimal exchange between the fuel tank and the hydrocarbon absorbing system.
- Prevent fuel escape from the tank
- Do not absorb fuel through the vent for tighter control
Features
- Help manufacturers comply with EPA standards for reduced hydrocarbon emissions
- Oleophobic and won’t absorb fuel or let fuel past the vent
- Allow for optimal air-flow exchange between the fuel tank and the hydrocarbon absorbing system
- Free of PFOA: Compliant with (EC) 1907/2006 REACH / Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 POP
Materials Offered
- PTFE membrane and molded components
Formats Available
- Rolls or die cut disks
