Nylon Mesh Filters - ME17243
Laboratory-grade nylon mesh combines the chemical durability of polyamide with a uniform woven structure that enables predictable particle retention and exceptional throughput during prefiltration and screening operations. Naturally hydrophilic nylon monofilament wets on contact with aqueous solutions, eliminating pre-wetting requirements and reducing sample preparation time. Ultimately, naturally hydrophilic nylon wets immediately for rapid processing without pre-treatment delays.
Key Nylon Mesh Characteristics
- Woven nylon resists common organic solvents and alkaline solutions while maintaining dimensional stability through repeated filtration and cleaning cycles.
- A 37% open area provides efficient fluid passage through the mesh, reducing pressure drop and supporting rapid processing of large sample volumes.
- Flat disc geometry provides uniform filtration across the full active area when supported in a compatible filter holder or funnel assembly.
- Defined mesh opening of 215 µm supports reproducible macrofiltration performance calibrated to the target particle size range.
- Plain-weave monofilament construction creates uniform square openings that deliver consistent particle retention across the entire filtration surface area.
From high-volume prefiltration to targeted particle sizing, nylon mesh construction delivers the dimensional precision and reusability that keep your laboratory running efficiently. Naturally hydrophilic nylon wets instantly in your aqueous solutions, so you can begin filtration immediately without pre-wetting steps that slow sample preparation. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.
