Filter Material-What is a filter cloth?
At K2TEC, the term filter cloth for industrial filtration covers all products that are manufactured using a so-called complex weave as opposed to mesh filter fabrics, which are a square weave.Filter cloths have different types of yarns such as monofilament, multifilament, staple fibre, in different natural or synthetic materials such as polyester, polyamide (nylon), polypropylene, PTFE (teflon)…These filter cloths offer filtration ratings from 1 micron to 1000 microns. This type of fabric is generally used in solid-liquid separation but also in air filtration, either directly or as a support for finer specific filter media.Generally on this type of filter fabrics, the filtration rating is of great importance but also the permeability to increase the efficiency of the filter, the mechanical resistance and the dimensional stability. Finally a capacity for cleaning and discharging filter cake.
