Major Fibers Chemical Characteristics - Blog | Products for Filtration, Separation, Sifting and Printing | Filter Bags Filter Meshes | Plastic Filters

In filtration industry, different meshes can be used for different industries, which vary from working temperature to chemical resistance, so we will need to obtain the knowledge of different plastic fibers, so we will know what most suitable filter meshes should be applied. Below is the datasheet of major plastic fibers.
