Description & Usage

Fiber Glass is a non-combustible material that offers the highest temperature resistance among common filter media. Because glass fibers are brittle, they are typically woven and treated with specialized coatings (like PTFE or silicone) to protect the filaments from abrasion during the cleaning pulse. It is an economical choice for very large-scale, high-heat filtration, provided the mechanical handling of the bags is minimized to prevent fiber breakage.
