The difference between nylon and stainless steel filter mesh

There are many kinds of materials can be used for filter, and the common materials are nylon and stainless steel wire.There are also many differences between nylon filter mesh and stainless steel filter mesh.

Nylon mesh is plain weave and made of monofilament yarn, with acid and alkali resistance. Our nylon mesh has passed the FDA approval. It has very smooth surface, so that the filtered particles will easily separate. It also can 

be washed repeatedly, and the economy is extremely high. Mainly used for food filtration (such as flour, tea, milk, etc.) and pharmaceutical filtration (such as cleaning blood, pharmaceutical production, etc.). Since nylon mesh i

s easy to made into different shapes, so many customers use nylon mesh to made into bags for filtration and packing.

Stainless steel wire mesh is made of stainless steel wire, the common materials are 314, 316, 316L etc. And it has five weaving types, such as plain weave, twill weave, plain dutch weave, twill dutch, reverse dutch weave. It has higher tensile strength, high filtration accuracy, better corrosion resistance and durability than nylon mesh, but also are more expensive. Stainless steel filter mesh is mainly used in petrochemical filtration, ore filtration, aerospace research, etc.

Customers need to choose the right filter material according to the mesh applications and the budget that they can accept.
