Component Supply’s nylon mesh filter screening is sold by the yard and in various configurations of mesh openings (µ), open areas, thread count (threads per inch) and thread diameter. This mesh is available for purchase in 1/4 yard sheets (18″ x 20″), half yard sheets (18″ x 40″), or increments of 1 full yard (36″ x 40″ per yard). When multiple yards are purchased, these will be provided as a continuous roll as stock allows. Other specifications such as weight (oz./sq. yd), thickness (µ), and air permeability are available upon request. Monofilament, woven mesh material is nylon 6/6, also known as polyamide, and possesses effective abrasion and alkali resistance. The softening point is between 170°C and 230°C and the melting point is between 210°C and 250°C. Some Component Supply customers have successfully autoclaved this material; however, polyester mesh is recommended for most applications involving autoclave sterilization.
Applications for nylon mesh filter screening occur in the following industries: mining, agriculture, aquaculture, medical and laboratory. The healthcare industry provides numerous applications for nylon mesh such as infusion and transfusion filters, micro-aggregate filters, arterial and venous filters in oxygenator reservoirs and blood bags. The smooth, soft surface, tighter tolerances, dimensional stability and strength make nylon mesh ideal for other medical and diagnostic applications as well. Component Supply seeks to assist researchers and product designers in determining the best products for their specific applications. While we do provide some information regarding the potential applications of our products, the numerous options make it impossible to create a comprehensive list of applications. Therefore, when considering prospective applications of nylon mesh in your specific industry, please call us and use our knowledgeable representatives as resources who can assist you in choosing the best products and custom fabrication options.
Component Supply stocks nylon mesh with opening sizes ranging from 7 microns to 1920 microns. While we stock large volumes of this product and sell it by the linear yard, we also prove our commitment to the work of our researchers and product designers by offering this mesh in small quantities and in custom disc sizes and custom cuts of basic shapes. Widths for the lineal yard range from a minimum of 40 inches up to 60 inches depending on mesh size and stock. For more information about current available widths and for quantities larger than 10 yards, call or email us for pricing. We strive to bring application-specific functionality to various industries by customizing our products without committing all customers to large quantities. Please contact a Component Supply representative if you have further questions about the customization options of nylon mesh.
