Ultra-Thin Filter Fabric

With thickness similar to filter paper, this fabric provides higher flow and is more flexible than felt. It’s often used to filter water, light oil, and water soluble and synthetic coolants in metal polishing, grinding, and finishing applications. This fabric is also good for filtering air and petroleum.

Rayon/polyester fabric is commonly used in coolant applications.

Polyester fabric is 100% polyester for greater strength than rayon/polyester.

Filter Felt

Remove particles from water, organic solvents, petroleum, and weak alkalies.

Select felt based on the size of the particles you wish to remove. For example, the particle size of flour is about 100 microns and talcum powder is about 10 microns. View more information on particle size in microns.
