Perma Pure LLC

What Perma Pure LLC does

Perma Pure LLC is a United States-based medical devices and industrial gas-conditioning company founded in the early 1970s and headquartered in Lakewood, with 51–100 employees. Its core technology is Nafion™ tubing — a proprietary membrane licensed from The Chemours Company FC, LLC — that rapidly and continuously removes moisture from gas streams while retaining key analytes, protecting downstream analyzers and equipment from condensation, corrosion, and chemical exposure.

The company's product portfolio spans four verticals: Medical (oxygen blenders such as the MaxO2 ME, the Handi+ handheld oxygen analyzer, the Max-11, Bird® MicroBlenders, and SmartStack equipment stands); Life Science (gas analyzer systems, biomarker and breath-diagnostic platforms); Environmental (ambient air-quality and particulate monitoring); and Industrial (emissions monitoring, process gas conditioning, refrigerant analysis, and safety gas monitoring). Perma Pure also markets integrated sub-brands including Clayborn thermal-control technologies and Baldwin conditioning systems. Since April 2026, Perma Pure has operated under the Salaera parent alongside Maxtec, unifying these brands into a single breath- and gas-technology platform owned by Halma plc.

Perma Pure makes money through a mix of OEM components and tubing sales to medtech and analyzer manufacturers (quote-based, multi-year contracts), finished medical device sales through the Maxtec eCommerce storefront (unit pricing), enterprise direct sales to hospitals and large industrial customers requiring custom-engineered gas systems, and licensing of the Nafion™ trademark. Customers span global medical device OEMs, hospitals, diagnostics and research instrumentation providers, environmental monitoring agencies, and industrial facilities. Perma Pure recently received the Halma Healthcare Company of the Year recognition.
