Glass producer Schott has launched a porous glass for applications including moisture absorption and molecular separations.
CoralPor is available in two product variants. CoralPor 1000, a mesoporous high silica glass, is typically employed in applications such as reference electrode junctions, desiccants, coatings, or as components in devices for the medical, aerospace, defence, and oil and gas industries.
CoralPor 2000, exhibiting pore sizes in the meso- to macroporous regime, is best suited for use in separations or as a synthesis substrate.
Key physical attributes of CoralPor porous glass are the rigid interconnected microstructure and high internal surface area. This combination of attributes allows CoralPor products to be applied in applications from sensors to catalyst supports.
CoralPor porous glass is also available with enhanced chemical durability over a broad pH range (1-14). The enhanced chemical stability opens the door to a broader spectrum of applications.
For example, CoralPor can be used as the substrate in the purification of monoclonal antibodies, an application that requires chemical stability over multiple high pH column regeneration cycles.
