Porous mineral

ALWA POR MINERAL

  • is made of mineral particles and a resin binder.
  • is porous and produced as a block or slab in our factory in Gronau, Germany.
  • has a very smooth surface with good porosity.
  • is easily machinable.
  • is suitable for:
  • vacuum clamping technology,
  • filter applications,
  • air film and sliding technology and many other applications.

Please consider the different thermal coefficients of linear expansion if ALWA POR MINERAL is screwed on a slab or something is screwed on ALWA POR MINERAL (slab, block or mould). Drill larger holes for the screws into the material, so that the different expansion coefficients can level out. Screw connections which are used several times should be equipped with threaded sleeves.
