Polypropylene Woven Filter Cloth Key Features

01
Excellent Chemical Resistance & Corrosion Protection

Polypropylene offers outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, and aggressive process liquids, making it ideal for chemical plants, wastewater treatment, mining slurry, plating operations, and industrial liquid–solid separation where corrosion resistance is critical.

02
Superior Hydrophobicity & Low Moisture Absorption

PP fibers naturally repel water and moisture, maintaining stable filtration behavior even in high-humidity or aqueous slurry applications. This property supports faster dewatering, improved cake discharge, and reduced risk of cloth blinding.

03
Lightweight Strength & Good Abrasion Resistance

Despite its low density, polypropylene woven cloth offers reliable tensile strength and wear resistance, performing well in continuous-duty systems such as belt filters, drum filters, filter presses, and vacuum filters.

04
Wide Weave Options for Precise Filtration Control

Available in plain, twill, and satin weaves, polypropylene cloth delivers consistent pore openings and predictable cake formation. This ensures stable filtration efficiency, repeatability, and long-term process reliability.

05
Customizable GSM, Permeability & Roll Dimensions

PP woven filter cloth can be engineered with tailored basis weight, pore size, and permeability to match equipment requirements and process characteristics. Custom roll widths and lengths ensure easy installation across OEM and aftermarket systems.

06
Cost-Effective & Long-Lasting Filtration Media

Polypropylene provides an excellent balance of affordability, chemical resistance, and durability—making it a preferred choice for large-scale industrial filtration where consistent performance and low operational cost are essential.

INDUSTRIAL
APPLICATIONS

Made from precision-woven 100% virgin polypropylene yarns, our woven filter cloth delivers lightweight construction, strong chemical resistance, and reliable surface-filtration performance across a wide range of industrial liquids, slurries, and wastewater streams.

More Applications
Coatings, Paints, Inks & Industrial Fluids

Coatings, Paints, Inks & Industrial Fluids

Hydrophobic polypropylene woven cloth efficiently removes pigments, gels, and coarse particles while maintaining stable flow. It is ideal for inks, paints, resins, varnishes, adhesives, and specialty process liquids where low contamination, clean finishing, and color consistency are critical.

Water & Wastewater Treatment

Water & Wastewater Treatment

Polypropylene cloth is widely used in filter presses, vacuum belt filters, and drum filters for industrial water, cooling water, RO pre-filtration, and municipal or industrial wastewater treatment. Its excellent chemical resistance and low moisture absorption support stable cake formation, efficient dewatering, and long service life.

Acids, Alkalis & Chemical Processing

Acids, Alkalis & Chemical Processing

Thanks to its outstanding resistance to acids, alkalis, and many organic solvents, polypropylene woven filter cloth is an excellent choice for pickling baths, electroplating, chemical intermediates, fertilizer production, and other aggressive process liquids. Stable pore openings provide predictable surface filtration, low product loss, and reliable solids separation under demanding operating conditions.

Pre-Project Technical Evaluation

  • Comprehensive process-liquid evaluation focused on PP-compatible conditions, including strong acids, alkalis, salts, and aggressive chemical streams.
  • Assessment of particle size distribution and filtration targets; polypropylene woven cloth typically supports 10–200 μm separation depending on weave (plain, twill, satin).
  • Evaluation of viscosity, temperature stability (up to ~90–100°C), and slurry characteristics to verify suitability for filter presses, vacuum belt filters, and drum filters.
  • Chemical-compatibility screening for corrosive liquids, organic solvents, pickling solutions, and wastewater streams where PP’s hydrophobic and alkali-resistant behavior offers performance advantages.
  • Identification of the best yarn type (monofilament / multifilament) based on required cake release, flow rate, and mechanical stress.
