100%Polyester Monofilament Diameter range 0,045-0,25mm Count range 22,2-677Dtex This monofilament can be produced either with a natural transparent polymer or with a matt polymer pigmented with titanium dioxide (TiO2). ESTENE has many different applications, in view of its special features, such as very good toughness, resistance to low and high temperatures, chemical agents, ultraviolet rays and wear. Due to its low moisture absorption, it has a very good dimensional stability. The main applications of this monofilament are screen printing fabrics , 3 mesh spacer fabrics, filtration fabrics as well ribbons, It can be used in contact with food (FDA). Other special applications are reinforcement for conveyor belts, paper machines forming fabric and drying felts.
