1. A porous non mechanical valve comprising an internal component and an external component, the external component comprising a hydrophobic, sintered, non self-sealing component, the external component sintered to and co-molded with and over the internal component,the internal component comprising a sintered, porous self-sealing component, the internal component shaped to define a central cylindrical lumen,wherein the external component and the internal component comprise different pore sizes, the external component comprising a pore size in a range of 20-40 microns, wherein the external component comprises a smaller pore size than the internal self-sealing component,wherein the porous non mechanical valve blocks or retards the flow of liquid through the porous non mechanical valve. 2. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 1, wherein the internal component comprises a sintered self-sealing matrix of plastic particles and superabsorbent particles and the external component comprises a non self-sealing fiber matrix. 3. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 1, comprising a fluorinated polymer coating on an external surface of the external component of the porous non mechanical valve. 4. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 2, wherein the plastic particles are polyolefin, polyester or nylon particles. 5. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 4, wherein the polyolefin plastic particles are polyethylene, high density polyethylene, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene or polypropylene. 6. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 2, wherein the non self-sealing fiber matrix comprises polyethylene (PE)/polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP)/PET, co-polyester/PET, PE/Nylon, PP/Nylon, Nylon/Nylon, PE/PP, or PET/PP bicomponent fibers. 7. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 2, wherein the superabsorbent particles are carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydrolyzed starch, acrylonitrile graft copolymer, neutralized starch-acrylic acid graft copolymer, saponified acrylic acid ester-vinyl acetate copolymer, hydrolyzed acrylonitrile copolymer, acrylamide copolymer, modified cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol, neutralized self-crosslinking polyacrylic acid, crosslinked polyacrylate salts, neutralized crosslinked isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymers, and salts and mixtures thereof, polyacrylic acids, sodium polyacrylic acid and the sodium salt of poly(2-propenamide-co-2-propenoic acid), alginates, Guar gum, Xanthan gum, Konjac gum, Tara gum or agars. 8. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 1, further comprising a color change indicator, an anti-microbial, a disinfectant, a deodorant or a combination thereof. 9. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 1, wherein the internal component comprises a sintered self-sealing matrix of plastic particles and superabsorbent particles and the external component comprises a hydrophobic, sintered, non self-sealing matrix of plastic particles. 10. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 9, wherein the plastic particles are polyolefin, polyester or nylon particles. 11. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 10, wherein the polyolefin plastic particles are polyethylene, high density polyethylene, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene or polypropylene. 12. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 9, wherein the superabsorbent particles are carboxyl methyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), hydrolyzed starch, acrylonitrile graft copolymer, neutralized starch-acrylic acid graft copolymer, saponified acrylic acid ester-vinyl acetate copolymer, hydrolyzed acrylonitrile copolymer, acrylamide copolymer, modified cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol, neutralized self-crosslinking polyacrylic acid, crosslinked polyacrylate salts, neutralized crosslinked isobutylene-maleic anhydride copolymers, and salts and mixtures thereof, polyacrylic acids, sodium polyacrylic acid and the sodium salt of poly(2-propenamide-co-2-propenoic acid), alginates, Guar gum, Xanthan gum, Konjac gum, Tara gum or agars. 13. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 1, wherein the external component is porous, the internal component is porous, and the porous external component has a different pore structure and/or chemical composition than the porous internal component. 14. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 1, wherein the external component is in contact with the internal component. 15. The porous non mechanical valve of claim 1, wherein the external component is adjacent to the internal component. 16. A method of reducing clogging of a vacuum suction device comprising: inserting the porous non mechanical valve of claim 1 into the vacuum suction device;applying a vacuum across the porous non mechanical valve; and,permitting fluid or moisture to contact the porous non mechanical valve, wherein passage of the fluid or moisture through the porous non mechanical valve is retarded or prevented by the porous non mechanical valve. 17. A vacuum suction device comprising the porous non-mechanical valve of claim 1.
