Degassing Inserts
Scope of application
The high-quality FLUXX® Degassing Inserts make it possible for gaseous substances to diffuse, thereby preventing pressure from building up and decreasing in the containers – including bottles, canisters, drums and IBCs. The membranes are hydrophobic as well as oleophobic, and as a result, they are not saturated even by liquids with a low surface tension.

FLUXX® Degassing Inserts
The comprehensive portfolio of our FLUXX® Degassing Inserts provides a wide range of high-quality solutions designed to meet specific application requirements.
With our product series F15, F17 (with splash protection) and F38 (with splash protection and particularly high airflow), we offer the right solution for your performance requirements:
- F15 / F17 / F38 – for standard airflow and WEP (Water Entry Pressure) requirements, especially for applications subject to the testing requirements of ADR regulations.
- F17 HF / F38 HF (High-Flow) – for applications requiring increased airflow, particularly in the case of higher gas generation within the container.
- F38 EHF (Extreme High-Flow) – for applications with specific requirements for extremely high airflow.
- F38 HP (High-Pressure) – for applications requiring high WEP performance due to extremely high pressure conditions within the container.
We look forward to support you in selecting the right solution for your application!
