In the interior of hermetic housings and in headlamps or batteries changes in temperature or differences in height cause substantial variations in the internal pressure. Permeaflon® venting elements from Berghof compensate for differences in pressure and prevent penetration by water, dust, grime and even oils. The venting elements therefore guarantee the reliable functioning of components in the vehicle over their long life cycle. Thanks to its stable shape Permeaflon® venting elements can be supplied as backing-free film membranes in the form of reel packaging and also as precisely fitted stamped and turned parts in accordance with customers’ specifications.
Processing
Permeaflon® pressure compensation units consist of pure, porous PTFE and are therefore resistant to all media. Berghof porous PTFE is sintered at over 300 °C, providing the Permeaflon® pressure compensation units with maximum thermal and dimensional stability. This makes it possible to realize even the most demanding applications (such as those involving direct contact with the engine for instance) without difficulty. In addition, the film membranes require no backing material, thus eliminating the risk of functional failure by delamination.
