How to distinguish Polyester and Nylon filter mesh
Looking for filter mesh? MAISHI Wire Mesh Manufacture Group is here to support you.
For filter mesh, the main material is Polyester and Nylon. You may wonder: how to distinguish the different material? Polyester and Nylon looks so similar. Here we have two simple ways for you to work it out.
(1) Combustion method
Operation: Cut a 8cm × 2cm filter mesh trim, tie it to the chopsticks with iron wire, ignite the mesh strip with a match, and the wire mesh is ignited.
Observation: If slowly burning while melting, the ash looks like a yellow-brown glass sphere, then it` s Nylon mesh. While if there is black smoke comes out while burning, and the ash is a hard black residue, then it`s Polyester mesh. Also, the odor is different when burning,Nylon mesh has smell of wool, when smells aroma, it is polyester mesh.
(2) Acid solution method
Operation: Take a small amount of sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid, prepare a 70% solution of sulfuric acid, prepare a 20% solution of hydrochloric acid, and put the filter mesh trim into the above solution.
Observation: The nylon mesh is soluble in the solution, but the polyester mesh is insoluble.
Hope the two methods mentioned above would be helpful. If you are still not sure about the material after trying the two ways, pls send a small piece of sample to MAISHI Wire Mesh Manufacture Group. We will check the material with our professional testing equipment in our Lab. Then we can provide the exact result for you.
