Polyester Filter Mesh (PET Monofilament)
Dimensionally stable PET mesh, 10–2000 μm — the acid-resistant counterpart to nylon.
Product Introduction
High-precision fabric woven from 100% polyester (PET) monofilament yarns — exceptional dimensional stability with minimal elongation, so apertures stay accurate under continuous high pressure and tension. Where nylon rules alkaline service, polyester rules acidic: excellent resistance to strong acids, oxidizing agents and organic solvents (pH 1–9).
It also outperforms nylon in heat (continuous 130°C, peak 150°C) and wet environments — near-zero moisture absorption means no swelling and consistent flow rates. Micron ratings from 10 to 2000 μm, a long-lasting medium for liquid-solid separation, gas filtration and dust collection.
Key Features
- 100% PET monofilament, plain weave — outstanding dimensional stability
- Micron ratings 10 μm – 2000 μm; mesh count 15–500 per inch
- Excellent acid and solvent resistance (pH 1–9)
- Continuous 130°C / peak 150°C — outperforms nylon in heat
- Near-zero moisture absorption — no swelling, consistent flow in wet service
- High tensile strength; resists tearing, stretching and abrasion

Match to chemistry and temperature: acids or oxidizers → polyester; alkalis → nylon; above ~95°C continuous → polyester; maximum abrasion duty → nylon. When both fit, polyester's dimensional stability usually wins for precision filtration.
Practically no — its very low moisture absorption keeps apertures and flow rates consistent in wet and humid applications, unlike natural fibers.
