  • Venting / flame arresting
  • Fluidisation
  • Aeration
  • Wicking
  • Medical & diagnostic devices
  • Chromatography frits
  • Fragrance release products
  • Bacteria barrier media
  • Battery vents / flame arrestors
  • Gas sensing

SPC Technologies' technical staff possess experience in product development and manufacture in all of the above fields, and many more. In addition, SPC Technologies specialise in working with our clients in developing new applications, and in prototyping new designs. Please call us today to discuss your projects.

Most of our PE materials use high density polyethylene (HDPE) or ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMW).
