Percolates is a verb that means: To filter gradually through a porous surface or substance (of a liquid or gas). To be prepared in a percolator (coffee).
Percolation is the process of a liquid slowly passing through a filter. It is like making coffee. The coffee gets strained through a filter.
seepage is the slow movement of any liquid through porous material and percolation is the vertical movement of liquid to the porous material.
When you intended to make a metal full of bubbles it is called 'foam'. When you wanted a solid metal and got bubbles in it, it is called 'porous'. So 'foam' is a good thing, 'porous' is a bad thing.
You could say 'Filter paper is known as porous paper.'

They work in a similar way to the filter paper in a coffee machine. They are porous enough to allow liquid and blood cells to pass through, but not enough to allow larger particles of waste back into the bloodstream.
It is not advised to keep coffee in the freezer because it is porous and can absorb other flavors from other foods in the freezer.
Sand can be used in a filter that is made up of a box, with an "in" and an "out" pipe connected to it. Inside the box, there could be 2 bits of filter paper, similar to that found in a coffee maker (to stop the sand escaping), one covering each pipe. The sand would be between these 2 filters and, due to the porous properties of sand, and the fact that it lets very little solid particles through, it would filter the water to some degree, however, carbon is more commonly used, as it can filter out much smaller particles.
A substance just soft enough or porous enough for a liquid to filter through
Space between the particles of the rock.
