Polyester filter mesh

Polyester filter mesh is a woven or knitted fabric made from polyester fibers designed for filtration and screening applications. It’s widely used in industries that need precise separation, sieving, or liquid/air filtration.

Here’s a breakdown of its key features and uses:

Main Characteristics

Material: 100% polyester (PET)

Weave types: Plain weave (most common), twill weave, or Dutch weave

Filtration precision: Typically ranges from 10 to 500 microns

High strength: Strong tensile properties and good elasticity

Chemical resistance: Resists most acids and organic solvents

Temperature resistance: Works effectively up to about 150°C (302°F)

Hydrophobic: Doesn’t absorb water, quick-drying

Stable structure: Maintains mesh size under tension

 Common Applications

Liquid filtration: Water treatment, chemical processing, oil filtration

Air and dust filtration: HVAC systems, industrial ventilation

Screen printing: Used as a stencil fabric

Food processing: Milk filtration, sugar refining, juice clarification

Pharmaceuticals: Fine powder and liquid separation

Agriculture: Insect screens, seed sieving

Advantages Over Other Materials

More durable and cost-effective than nylon in many environments

Easier to clean and reuse compared to cotton filters

Dimensionally stable, meaning mesh openings don’t shift easily
