Nylon Woven Filter Mesh

Description

Introduction:

Nylon Filter Mesh is made of monofilament PA6 or PA*6 yarn/thread (1:1 weaving method, plain weave), which is ideal for straining, sieving or filtering most liquids, powders or sludges; The term ‘Monofilament’ means that each thread used in the construction of the cloth is a single smooth solid strand instead of many smaller diameter threads twisted together, as in a spun or multifilament material. These monofilament threads are perfectly round in section and are extruded to very precise and uniform diameters.

Their advantages are:

a) due to their uniformity they can be woven with great precision to give exact and regular apertures,
b) the resulting material has a very smooth surface so that the filtered particles will easily separate from it,
c) they have great strength and elasticity.

After weaving, our fabrics undergo a finishing process to add the properties required for specific applications. During the finishing process, the fabric is scoured to remove any foreign substances and the yarns are then stabilised within the weave in order to eliminate shrinkage by a process known as ‘heat setting’.

Monofilament Nylon 6 or Nylon 6.6 Filter Mesh

Monofilament Nylon is a versatile material due to its great strength, flexibility, long life and resistance to abrasion. Nylon has excellent resistance to most common solvents and will operate continuously at temperatures up to **0°C in the chemical pH range ***4. 

Application:

1. Collection of Cells and Algae
2. Particle Analysis
3. Large Particulate Filtration
4. Background Filter for automated particle imaging system
5. Pre-filtration of Solvents
6. Paint Monitoring
7. Medical Filtration (Blood Filtration)

Anatomy of Woven Mesh

1. Mesh: Designates the number of openings per inch (*5.4mm)
2. Designates the measurement of the clear open space between parallel adjacent wires.
    Opening Size=*5.4 mm÷Mesh Count−Wire Diameter
    Pitch=Opening Size+Wire Diameter; or *5.4mm÷Mesh Count
    Open Area %=(Opening Size)2÷(Opening Size+Wire Diameter)2×**0
3. Designates the diameter of wire before weaving. With a same mesh count, when the wire diameter is different, the opening size and open area are significantly changed.
