High-Performance Surface Filtration for Industrial Applications
Clear Decision Filtration Mesh Filter Bags provide a robust, economical solution for liquid filtration needs across a wide spectrum of industries. Designed for surface retention, these bags allow for high flow rates and low pressure drops while effectively capturing solid, non-deformable contaminants. Whether you utilize single-filament weaves for precision or multifilament structures for cost-effective bulk removal, Clear Decision Filtration offers a configuration to match your process requirements.
As a trusted distributor, Purecowater connects you with high-quality filtration media capable of handling everything from coarse particulate removal to fine screening in sensitive chemical processes.
Material Configurations: Monofilament vs. Multifilament
Choosing the right mesh construction is critical for optimizing filtration efficiency and longevity. Clear Decision Filtration bags are available in two primary weave types:
1. Monofilament Mesh (NMO / POMO)
Nylon Monofilament (NMO) and Polypropylene Monofilament (POMO) bags are woven from single-fiber threads. This structure creates a fixed, uniform pore size that ensures precise filtration ratings.
- Structure: Square, uniform openings woven from single strands.
- Benefit: Excellent fabric strength and no fiber migration (non-fiber releasing).
- Reusability: Can often be cleaned and reused, making them economical for certain applications.
- Best For: Paints, inks, coatings, and applications requiring precise micron ratings [thecarycompany.com].
2. Multifilament Mesh (PEMU / NMU)
Polyester Multifilament (PEMU) and Nylon Multifilament (NMU) bags are constructed from threads made of many smaller fibers twisted together.
- Structure: Woven strands composed of multiple smaller fibers.
- Benefit: Lower cost and disposable; creates a loose weave suitable for bulk debris.
- Best For: General water filtration, coarse filtration, and applications where bag disposal is preferred over cleaning [customfiltrationsolutions.com].

| Industry | Typical Use Case | Recommended Material |
|---|---|---|
| Paints & Coatings | Removing skins and pigments without stripping resin. | Nylon Monofilament |
| Process Water | Removal of sand, scale, and algae from cooling towers. | Polyester Multifilament |
| Food & Beverage | Clarification of syrups, edible oils, and bottled water. | Nylon (FDA Compliant) |
| Chemical Processing | Filtration of acids, alkalis, and solvents. | Polypropylene Monofilament |
Why Choose Clear Decision Mesh Bags?
Unlike felt “depth” media which traps particles within the matrix of the fabric, mesh is capable of “surface” retention. This means contaminants are trapped on the inside surface of the bag, making it ideal for sieving applications where you need to classify solids by size or ensure that deformable particles (like gels) are not pushed through the media under pressure.
Key Benefits:
- High tensile strength covers preventing bag bursts.
- Silicone-free construction to prevent downstream contamination (cratering in paint).
- Wide chemical compatibility with Nylon and Polypropylene options.
- Economical options used for pre-filtration to extend the life of more expensive cartridges.
