Synthetic Fiber Mesh (Mesh Cloth)

We store, inspect for precision, and process a wide variety of high-precision mesh cloths used for various applications.

Product Categories

NYTAL (Nylon Mesh Cloth)
Known for its precision and variety, with a wide range of widths and excellent durability. Compared to stainless steel, it is less prone to clogging. Available in various weaves such as XX and Schlager, it is used in most flour mills worldwide. (Mesh opening: 1–5000μ)

Nylon Mesh Cloth NYTAL (Nylon Mesh Cloth) 

PETEX (Polyester Mesh Cloth)
Resistant to high temperatures (-75 to +150°C) and has minimal stretching. It is rapidly gaining popularity in stainless steel mesh applications due to its similar properties. (Mesh opening: 1–5000μ)

How to Read the Standard Table

The products are listed in descending order of mesh opening size. Here’s how to interpret each item:

Product Code (Sefar number)
The product number from the Swiss manufacturer “SEFAR.”

Mesh Opening (μm)
The size of the mesh openings (the gaps between the threads) in microns.

Thread Thickness (μm)
The thickness of the threads in microns.

Mesh (per inch)
The number of threads per inch.

Open Area (%)
The percentage of the mesh that is open space.

Thickness (μm)
The thickness of the mesh in microns.

Width Standard (cm)
The current width standard for each product. Note that the width standard is a manufacturing benchmark and not a guaranteed value.

( ) denotes made-to-order products. They may be available from our stock or in Switzerland, so please feel free to contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Weaving Patterns

The weaving patterns of mesh are indicated as GG, XX, XXX, S (Schlinger), etc. Some meshes, especially those with openings of 30μm or less, are woven in special patterns such as twill or satin weave. The following diagrams illustrate each weaving pattern.

Raw Materials

The raw materials for each product are as follows:

Standard Name	Raw Material
NYTAL	Polyamide 6,6 (6,6 Nylon) Polyamide 6 (6 Nylon)
PETEX	Polyester (Polyethylene Terephthalate)
PROPYLTEX	Polypropylene (PP)
FLUORTEX	Fluororesin (Teflon) ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) PVDF
