In industrial filtration systems, liquid filter cloths play a crucial role in removing impurities and sediments, enhancing product quality, and protecting equipment. With a wide range of materials, each type of filter fabric offers unique advantages suitable for specific applications. Let’s explore more with Tan Thanh.
1. Common materials used for liquid filter cloths
The three most commonly used materials for liquid filter cloths are Polyester (PE), Polypropylene (PP), and Nylon (NMO).
Polyester (PE) Filter Fabric
Polyester (PE) filter fabric is favored in applications requiring excellent heat and chemical resistance. With an operating temperature of up to 150°C, PE delivers stable performance in processes involving industrial oil, paint, ink, or organic solvents. Its non-woven structure ensures high filtration accuracy through evenly distributed fibers and allows for easy cleaning and reuse—helping to reduce operational costs.
Its resistance to acids, oxidizers, and organic solvents extends its lifespan in harsh environments, making it a top choice in food industries (such as dairy and beer) and heavy industrial manufacturing. PE’s flexibility in fabrication allows it to be shaped according to specific technical requirements, optimizing performance in high-pressure filtration systems.
Polypropylene (PP) Filter Fabric
Polypropylene (PP) stands out for its comprehensive chemical resistance and biocompatibility, complying with strict standards like the FDA. With a maximum heat tolerance of 90°C, PP is ideal for food filtration applications such as fish sauce, juices, or beer, where high purity and chemical-free filtration are critical.
Made from 100% virgin plastic, PP fibers are colorless, odorless, and additive-free—making them highly suitable for pharmaceutical and beverage applications. Its non-stretch characteristic ensures high mechanical stability under heavy pressure and high flow, making PP a cost-effective solution for efficient sediment retention in demanding systems.
Nylon (NMO) Filter Fabric
Nylon (NMO) filter fabric is valued for its combination of mechanical strength and versatile usage, with heat resistance up to 130°C. Its woven mesh structure, featuring uniformly fine pores, allows surface-level contaminant capture while maintaining optimal fluid flow—ideal for aquaculture water filtration, beverages, and light chemicals.
With high abrasion resistance and tensile strength, Nylon performs reliably even in fluctuating pressure conditions. Its easy-clean design minimizes production downtime, and its broad chemical compatibility allows use in diverse sectors—from agriculture (pond and seawater) to food (honey, coffee), delivering both technical and economic efficiency.
