Acrylic Copolymer Membrane

Cobetter Acrylic Copolymer Membrane is acrylic copolymer membrane cast on nonwoven nylon support. It is both hydrophobic and oleophobic material with excellent air permeability and broad chemical compatibility, the oil rating could be up to 8 grade (AATCC 118-2013). Non-wettable by most low surface tension liquids and high air flow rate makes it an ideal material for a variety of air venting applications, which has same good performance as Versapor*.  

Benefit from the unique casting process and robust support layer, acrylic copolymer membrane is one of the most durable materials, which makes it compatible with multiple welding methods, including ultrasonic welding, torsional welding, thermal welding, RF welding, insert welding etc. The special construction of the membrane makes the welding easier, both sides could be welded without distinguishing. The simple handling feature improves the labor efficiency.

Cobetter Acrylic Copolymer membrane withstands Ethylene Oxide(EtO), E-Beam, Gamma Irradiation (Up to 50KGY) and steam sterilization, providing compatibility to the most stringent sterilization requirements in medical applications. In addition, our membrane complies with United States Pharmacopeia(USP) Biological Reactivity Tests,In Vivo<88>for biosafety and is non-cytotoxic.  

This membrane has good compatibility with a wide range of housing/plastic materials: High Density Polyethylene(HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene(LDPE), Polypropylene(PP), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene(ABS), Polycarbonate(PC), Polymethyl Methacrylate(PMMA) etc. Due to the characteristics of non-woven nylon support, it is also suitable for high-frequency welding of PVC, EVA and other soft bags films. The peel strength after welding is superior to any other membranes, and it has unique advantages in the special application of urine bag and drainage bag.
