Material Introduction: Polyamide or Nylon is the major engineering and high performance thermaplastic class because of its good balance of properties. Polyamides contain repeating amide linkages i.e. –CO-NH–. It is formed by condensing identical units, copolymers for different units.

Polyamides (or Nylon) are made from polycondensation of diacid with a diamine or by ring-opening polymerization of lactams with 6, 11 or 12 carbon atoms. 

• The monomers may be aliphatic, semi-aromatic or aromatic (aramids)
• They may be amorphous, semi-crystalline and of greater or lesser crystallinity

A micron is a unit of measure in the metric system equal to 1 millionth of a meter in length (about 39 millionths of an inch). The average cross-section of a human hair is 50 microns. The human bared-eyes cannot see anything smaller than 40 microns in size. Let us see what micron rating is in filtration industry when we talk about filter media, such as filter mesh, filter cloth, filter felt.

Liquid Filter bags---one of the filter bags in the liquid filtration industry is widely applied and used in industrial and home applications. When filter bags for fluid filtration, several elements have to be considered.

1. Chemical Compatibility: To select suitable filter bags for liquid filtration, first is to take the filter media and fluid chemicals into consideration and select right filter media, otherwise, filter bags will not be able to work properly, what's worse, it will pollute downstream fluid since filter bags cannot hold particles or dirts.

Filters are a media or components fabricated with filter media to remove particles from fluid or gas, after fluid or gas pass through filter media or filter parts, certain-sized particles are filtered or intercepted and stopped onto the surface or filter media or inside filter media (in-depth filters) and clean fluid or gas will pass through filter media or filter part to the downstream. However, It is only known when testing methods or filter standards are known. The two major filter ratings are: Absolute Filter Rating and Nominal Filter Ratings.

To upgrade production machines (weaving looms) and import and use reliable weaving reeds, SHARE has paid much and much more attention to the details of productions for precision woven filter meshes. From the selection of supplied monofilament yarns to warping, drawing in reeds,...heat-setting, SHARE is doing all in house to make sure all the processes are under control.

More than 30 years of producing experience in filtration (filter media), SHARE has combined filter media with injection molding to make molded plastic filters for industrial applications, such as automotive, health care, home appliance, agricultural, food and beverage, chemical processing and many industries requiring filter media and filter parts/components.

In filtration industry, different meshes can be used for different industries, which vary from working temperature to chemical resistance, so we will need to obtain the knowledge of different plastic fibers, so we will know what most suitable filter meshes should be applied. Below is the datasheet of major plastic fibers.

Precision Woven Synthetic Filter Mesh

What is Precision Woven Filter Mesh

It is a synthetic woven filter mesh made of monofilament yarn, specialized in defined and controlled, consistent and repeatable material properties such as mesh opening (pore size), fabric/mesh thickness, tensile strength, dimensional stability, cleanliness and so on.

Ultrasonic welding is an industrial technique whereby high frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations are locally applied to workpieces being held together under pressure to creat a solid-state weld. It is commonly used for plastics, however, ultrasonic-welding techniques can also be used to weld mesh, cut mesh into different shapes and weld mesh into tubes.

For most of clients who are new to silk printing, the first thing you might have in mind is " Which mesh shoud i choose for my print?", as a screen mesh supplier, sharefilters would like to share some general knowledge about mesh selection

By incorporating capabilities in production of filter material, including filter meshes and filter felts with rating from 5um to 2000um and from 1um to 300um respectively, SHARE takes full advantage of her capabilities and know-how in the filtration industry, SHARE produces various kinds of filter bags made of both monofilament/multifilament filter meshes and needle-punched filter felts. The filter bags are of standard style and sizes and can be produced upon clients' request (customised filter bags).

Stencil Terminology

EOM “Emulsion Over Mesh.” Proper EOM is typically 10 - 25% of

mesh thickness (ft).

Rz Surface roughness of the print side. A stencil with a low Rz

value has a smooth surface (desireable Rz < 5).

As a filtration and separation material provider, SHARE has been striving hard to research and develop new filter material for the industry. In the past, market is limited in supplying small micron rated filter meshes due to technical reasons, such as weaving machines, raw material (yarns/threads), reeds, etc, this market is always occupied by foreign companies, and the cost is very high for the buyers.

In the past year of 2016, SHARE has been closely working with our clients on the needs for the markets worldwide in the industry of dust collection, liquid filtration and screen printing, esp. molded plastic filters.

MESH TO MICRON CONVERSION CHART

Introduction:

Biopsy Bags are made of quality nylon. (Ultrasonic-welding)

Reduce risk of small specimen loss.

Design allows unrestricted fluid movement around tissue.

Bags peel open esaily for quick and easy specimen removal.

Available with or without flap (7mm flap)

Mesh preparation
Abrasion and degreasing to make the mesh more receptive to stencil adhesion.

This variable precedes the discussion of other stencil variables because it is the source of various common stencil-breakdown problems-pinholes, fisheyes or poor stencil adhesion to the mesh-often blamed on the emulsion itself. The screen mesh must be prepared for stencil application by, in some cases, abrading and, in all cases, degreasing.
