Glass filter frits are known to be produced by a controlled melting process. The melting is carried out in such a way that when a finely divided powder is heated up only the surface of the particles is melted. The particles flow together and adhere by their walls — they sinter. After cooling down, a porous membrane is created. If the particles are heated further, a homogeneous film is created.
