State-of-the-art track-etching technology can be applied to the following polymeric materials :

• polycarbonate (PC)
• polyester (PET)
• polyimide (PI)

Self-supported polymer film with a thickness from 5 to 100 microns can be processed as well as thin polymer layer deposited on a substrate such as glass, quartz or silicon (optionally incorporating electrical circuitry).

Track-etching technology is adapted to true pore size ranging from 10 nm to 30 µm with a pore density monitored from 1E3 to 1E10 pores per square centimetre.  Confinement of pores  can be also considered to realise patterned track-etched producs where a known number of pores are created in well-defined areas only.

Other specific products, such as e.g. coronary balloons, can be also successfully track-etched to improve their performances.
