Nylon Filter Mesh

Precision-woven monofilament nylon filter mesh with uniform, repeatable apertures, stocked from 1 to 1,000 microns and cut to the metre or supplied as a whole roll. Suits brine shrimp and rotifer culture, plankton nets, pipe screens, filter bags and intake or effluent screening. Other apertures are available on request.

Price range: $100.00 through $250.00 ex GST

Product Information

Key Features

  • Precision-woven monofilament nylon (PA6 or PA66) with uniform, repeatable apertures for consistent mechanical filtration
  • Stocked from 1 to 1,000 microns, cut to the metre off the roll or supplied as a whole roll
  • High tensile strength and abrasion resistance — the fabric holds its shape and its aperture under pressure and flow
  • Chemically resistant and dimensionally stable in fresh, brackish and salt water
  • Compliant with FDA, EC Regulation No 1935/2004 and EU Regulation No 10/2011 for food contact
  • Plain or twill weave, in roll widths from 102 cm to 229 cm depending on the aperture
  • Used for brine shrimp and rotifer culture, plankton nets, pipe screens, filter bags, raceway in- and outlet screens, and intake or effluent filtration
  • Sizing: choose the aperture by the smallest particle or organism you need to retain — the micron rating is the mesh opening, so 65 µm mesh holds back anything larger than 65 µm and passes everything finer. Other apertures available on request

Frequently Asked Questions

Which micron do I need?
Choose the aperture by the smallest particle or organism you must retain: the micron rating is the size of the mesh opening, so 65 µm mesh holds back anything larger than 65 µm and passes everything finer.
Can I get an aperture that isn't listed?
Yes. The stocked range is 1 to 1,000 microns, and other apertures are available on request from the wider 1 to 2,000 micron manufacturing range — tell us the aperture and width you need.
How is the mesh supplied?
Cut to the metre off the roll, or as a whole roll, in widths from 102 cm to 229 cm depending on the aperture.
What is the mesh made from?
Monofilament nylon wire, PA6 or PA66, woven in either plain or twill weave.
Is it suitable for food contact?
Yes, the mesh complies with FDA, EC Regulation No 1935/2004 and EU Regulation No 10/2011.
Will it hold up in seawater?
Yes, monofilament nylon is chemically resistant and dimensionally stable, so the fabric keeps its aperture in fresh, brackish and salt water.
What is the open area?
Open area varies with aperture and weave; 48% at 200 µm is the published worked example, so ask us for the figure at the aperture you are specifying.
