Permeation

Permeation is the function of controlled release of a selected element such as water, air, light or gas. Nitto manufactures coated and/or porous film materials that offer permeation in a wide range of applications.

Light

Light permeation technology is designed to filter the wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum by controlling what colors (or wavelengths) can be seen or blocked.

Gas

Gas permeation allows a select gas to pass through a material. Often these materials act as a one-way valve, allowing gas to pass, but preventing air from entering.

Heat

Heat permeation allows heat to transfer quickly through a material.

Water

Water permeation allows water to pass while blocking select contaminates such as chemicals, suspended solids, or even color.

Air

Air permeability allows air through a material when there is a different air pressure on either side
