Nylon Filter Mesh (PA6/PA66 Monofilament)
Precision woven nylon mesh, 5–1500 μm — alkali-resistant workhorse for liquid filtration.
Product Introduction
High-precision industrial fabric woven from 100% polyamide (PA6/PA66) monofilament yarns in plain weave — uniform square openings with precise, stable pore sizes. Among synthetic filter media, nylon offers the highest abrasion resistance, making it the cost-effective workhorse for liquid filtration, particle separation, sifting and dust collection under continuous mechanical duty.
Its standout trait is alkali resistance (operating pH 7–14) combined with high elasticity and tensile strength: it handles heavy loads, high flow rates and pressure drops without tearing. Micron ratings from 5 to 1500 μm in rolls up to 3.6 m wide, plus die-cut discs, ribbons and fabricated filter tubes and cylinders.
Key Features

Nylon wins on abrasion resistance, elasticity and alkali resistance (pH 7–14), but softens above ~95°C. Polyester wins on acid resistance (pH 1–9), dimensional stability and heat (continuous 130°C). Match the choice to your chemistry and temperature — see our polyester mesh.
Yes — our nylon filter mesh is tested against FDA 21 CFR 177.1500 (Test Report B-R0215E29349). Describe your application and required compliance in the quote form and we will confirm the right construction and documentation.
Both — besides roll goods we die-cut discs, squares and ribbons with sealed anti-fray edges, and fabricate tubes, cylinders and conical strainers.
