Common Filter Cloth Materials and Their Properties

1. Polypropylene (PP) Filter Cloth

Features:

• Excellent resistance to acids and alkalis
• Lightweight and cost-effective
• Good abrasion resistance for particulate-laden materials

Suitable Industries:

• Mining (tailings dewatering, concentrate filtration)
• Chemical processing (acid-alkali filtration)
• Wastewater treatment (sludge dewatering)
• Food industry

2. Polyester (PET) Filter Cloth

Features:

• High tensile strength and dimensional stability
• Resistant to weak acids and organic solvents, not suitable for strong alkalis
• Good heat resistance

Suitable Industries:

• Chemical industry
• Mining and metallurgy
• Environmental and wastewater applications

3. Nylon (PA) Filter Cloth

How to Choose the Right Press Filter Cloth?

Chemical Compatibility: Ensure the cloth can withstand the acidity, alkalinity, or solvents in the filtration process.

Temperature Resistance: For high-temperature applications, choose heat-resistant materials like polyester or PVDF.

Filtration Fineness: Use tightly woven fabrics for fine particles and more open weaves for coarse solids.

Abrasion Resistance: For slurry with hard particles, select a durable material such as nylon.
