Engineering the Right Filtration Fabric.
Filtration performance is engineered through the selection of polymer, yarn construction, weave structure and surface finishing. Every element impacts how a fabric performs in your process.
Polymer Selection
Each polymer offers a unique balance of chemical resistance, mechanical strength and temperature capability.

| Solvent Resistance | |||
| Abrasion / Wear Resistance | |||
| Tensile / Mechanical Strength | |||
| Dimensional Stability | |||
| Moisture Absorption | |||
| Max. Continuous Operating Temp. (Dry) | 90 °C (194 °F) | 150 °C (302 °F) | 120 °C (248 °F) |
More filled dots indicate better performance for filtration duty. All other polymers including PPS, PEEK, PTFE, PVDF and specialty materials are available upon request.
Yarn Construction
Yarn type significantly influences filtration efficiency, flow rate, cake release and fabric life.

Send us the duty.
We'll send the construction.
Slurry chemistry, operating temperature, particle size, target cake moisture and cycle time are enough for us to propose a polymer, yarn and weave combination — with a test report to back it.
