Micron 60 40 PA6 Nylon Filter Mesh For Treatment Of Ultra Pure Water
Water treatment is essential to ensuring people have access to clean water and for maintaining sanitary conditions. Filtration is one of the primary methods used to treat water. Water Filters remove unwanted impurities from water to result in better quality water. From producing better-tasting drinking water to more specialist applications such as beverage, Share offers a huge range of filter materials and custom in-line filters to solve number of water-related issues.
Nylon filter mesh is popular in water treatment due to its food grade and greater abrasion resistance comparative to the other three frequently used filter fabrics. The two most popular grades of nylon are type PA6 and type PA66. PA 6 has low melting point whereas PA 66 has higher melting point. PA 66 is used is high performing products where durability is the concern to avoid wear, tear and to withstand at higher temperatures.
