Polystar Technologies operates as a custom manufacturer of sintered porous plastic solutions. We build precision-molded components for the medtech, biotech, diagnostics, electronics, and energy markets. Identifying the correct pore size dictates the success of your filtration and fluid handling systems. Learn more about what pore dimensions control, common specifications by application, and why precise sizing […]
When comparing sintered vs membrane technologies, the optimal choice rarely appears on a standard specification sheet. Both technologies actively filter, vent, and separate materials, yet their structural differences produce vastly different outcomes over a product’s lifecycle. In mission-critical medical and industrial applications, unpredictable failure is not an acceptable variable. This post provides design engineers with […]
In order to accommodate our growth over the past 2-3 years as a premier supplier of precision-molded, sintered microporous components, Polystar Technologies recently acquired a new facility and relocated from Burnsville, MN to Somerset, WI. We are pleased to announce…
The first synthetic plastics commercially produced were made from phenol and formaldehyde. Over time, the development of urea and thiourea were used to produce foam cushions, melamine, and laminate furniture. Organic chemists, through the 20th century, invented…
Sintered porous plastic materials are now being used in ever-expanding marketplaces with applications that offer improved healthcare, medical knowledge, and in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Polystar Technologies’ sintered, microporous thermoplastic media…
Sintering of porous plastics is a process whereby various porous materials are fused together, but not to the point where it liquefies, using specific controlled heat and/or pressure applications. The materials used may be most any thermoplastic polymers but…
Polystar Technologies has relocated its headquarters from Peachtree, Georgia to Burnsville, Minnesota. We continue to advance the science, engineering, performance, and customer service for porous plastics while maintaining a level of individually personalized service…
