Frequently Asked Questions

What filtration ratings are available?

Ratings from 5 to 1,000 microns are available. We can help select a suitable opening for the material and process.

Which materials are available?

Polyester and nylon are available, selected according to chemical resistance and operating conditions.

Can monofilament mesh be cleaned and reused?

Yes. Its smooth single-filament surface is relatively easy to clean and generally more reusable than non-woven media.
