Diversity and Applications of Industrial Filter Fabrics

In modern industrial production, filter cloth, as an important filtering material, plays an indispensable role. With the advancement of technology and the improvement of craftsmanship, the types of industrial filter fabrics have also become increasingly rich. Currently, there are about 12 common types of industrial filter fabrics on the market, each with its unique characteristics and applicable fields.


Among the various industrial filter fabrics, products made from synthetic fibers through weaving occupy an important position. These filter cloths, according to different materials, can be divided into several types such as polyester, polypropylene, vinylon, acrylic, and nylon. The differences in materials and weaving methods result in varying strengths, elongation rates, air permeability, and thickness.


Polyester industrial filter fabrics


Known for its high strength, excellent abrasion resistance, acid resistance, and shape retention. It is widely used in cement, iron-making, carbon manufacturing plants for high-temperature gas dust collection, and in refineries for bleaching earth filtration.


Polypropylene industrial filter fabrics


Lightweight and easy to handle, with excellent acid and alkali resistance, but prone to aging. Mainly used for dye, pigment, chemical drug filtration, as well as factory wastewater and urban water treatment.

Vinylon industrial filter fabrics


Good alkali resistance but poor temperature resistance, especially prone to shrinkage when wet and heated. Commonly used for dye, pigment, ceramic clay, and drug filtration.


Acrylic industrial filter fabrics


Outstanding chemical resistance, especially suitable for dust collection of corrosive gases.


Nylon industrial filter fabrics


High strength, excellent abrasion resistance, smooth surface with excellent residue peeling performance, good alkali resistance. However, it is prone to corrosion by inorganic acids, has high elongation, and is prone to deformation. Mainly used in mining, wax removal in refineries, and chemical plant filtration.


Industrial filter fabric has been widely used in food sugar production, pharmaceuticals, medical, chemical, metallurgy, steel, petroleum, ceramics, paper making, dust reduction, environmental protection, and many other industries and fields. They not only enhance production efficiency and product quality but also make significant contributions to environmental protection and energy saving. With continuous technological advancements, the types and performance of industrial filter fabrics will continue to be optimized and improved, providing stronger support for modern industrial production.
