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

Chemical Compatibility: The yarn in mesh filter bags is compatible with a broad range of chemicals.
