Monofilament filter mesh is a high-performance filtration material woven from single synthetic filament yarns. Compared with multifilament or twisted yarn fabrics, monofilament structures provide outstanding advantages such as smooth surface, uniform pore size, excellent abrasion resistance, high tensile strength, and superior permeability.
- Mesh Count: 6mesh – 500mesh.
- Color: White.
- Width: 1m – 3m (custom cutting available).
- Material: Polyester (PET), Nylon (PA), Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE).
Description
These fabrics can be produced using plain weave, twill weave, and double-layer weaving processes, and can be strengthened through heat setting, calendering, or heat shrinking. These treatments ensure stable filtration efficiency, rapid drainage performance, and a long service life in demanding solid-liquid separation applications.
- High filtration precision with stable pore geometry.
- Fast drainage and excellent permeability.
- Smooth surface for easy cake release.
- Outstanding abrasion resistance for continuous operation.
- High tensile strength and long service life.
- Easy to clean and reusable, reducing operational cost.
