Read moreIndustrial textiles are used in a broad range of belting, filtering, and other industrial process applications. Both synthetic and natural materials are used in the manufacture of industrial textiles, which are woven, or knit, in a variety of patterns or produced in unwoven textures. The application typically determines the required material, as each product has its own set of advantages.
Industrial textiles serve many purposes in industrial applications. These fabrics may require the incorporation of an extensive range of physical characters into the design to meet the specific needs of an expansive range of potential use cases.

Industrial textiles play an important and profitable role as filtration media. Depending on the filtration purpose, certain requirements and industry standards must be fulfilled for the production of filters.
Filtration can be described as the separating of substances based on their different physical and chemical qualities. Mostly, we think of it as the removal of solid particles from a mixture containing both solids and liquids.
Usually, a tool that contains some form of pores is used, which allows the fluid portion, but not the solid portion, to pass through.
Filtration is used to separate particles and fluid in a suspension, where the fluid can be a gas, liquid, or supercritical fluid. Depending on the application, either one or both components can be isolated.
Both textile fibers and fabric form an essential part of filtration. Examples of applications for filtration fabrics are:
Medical uses
Pharmaceutical uses
Filter fabrics are most commonly geotextile fabrics for drainage and erosion control applications and can be segmented into woven and nonwoven. The main utility of filter fabrics is to filter solids from liquids.
(filter fabrics containing both synthetic fibers and wool fibers capture dust particles through additional electrostatic charge properties, which enhances initial filtration efficiency without increases to airflow resistance, and especially for capture submicron particles.)
Dry filtration is the process of separating solid particles from air streams to reduce dust and particulate emissions to protect employees and the environment. Oversized solids in the air streams get caught by a filtration medium reducing the contamination of the air streams. Depending on the thickness of the filtration medium, air streams might still contain solid particles.
(In their applications, the filter media may be expected to operate for long periods, frequently in the most demanding physical and chemical conditions; therefore, the filter performance is crucial to the success of the industrial operation.)
Wet filtration systems remove solids from liquids by flowing the contaminated liquid through a filter media that will retain the solids and allow only clean product to pass through.
Liquid filtration is the removal of solids from liquids by flowing the contaminated liquid through a filter media that will retain the solids and allow only clean product to pass through.
Using a wet filtration medium to remove a volume of solids from a liquid requires that the medium should contain uniform pores smaller than the smallest particle to be removed. It should also be strong enough and possess sufficient area to hold the required volume of solids.
