Types of Filter Media Used in Filter Press Cloths

MaterialMicron RatingAdvantagesLimitations
Polypropylene (PP)1 – 200 µmHigh chemical resistance, lightweight, economical, easy to cleanLimited temperature resistance (up to 90–110°C)
Polyester (PET)1 – 100 µm Good abrasion resistance, stronger than PP, handles higher temperature (up to 150°C)Less chemical resistance than PP
Polyamide (Nylon)10 – 100 µmExcellent mechanical strength, flexible, good for fine particlesLower resistance to acids and alkalis
Cotton20 – 100 µm Natural fiber, biodegradable, good for non-aggressive slurriesLow chemical and temperature resistance, short lifespan
