Summary
Product identification
FSI Mesh Filter Bags are constructed using woven or knitted fabric. The yarn is designed to be abrasion resistant, compatible with a broad range of chemicals, unaffected by metal fatigue or corrosion, and possesses high tensile strength.
Features:
- Available in nylon monofilament, polyester multifilament, and polypropylene monofilament, offering broad chemical compatibility and various price ranges.
- Monofilament mesh bags provide extra strength and abrasion resistance.
- Precision mesh materials ensure predictable results for consistent performance.
- Offered in standard and custom sizes for compatibility with standard and unique applications.
- Available in micron ratings from 1-1500 with plastic and metal rings for versatility.
- Silicone-free to prevent cratering for a better surface finish.
Mesh Types:
- Monofilament Mesh: A woven fabric where each thread is a single filament, offering excellent strength with no fiber migration.
- Multifilament Mesh: A woven fabric where each strand consists of many smaller diameter threads.
Operating limits
