When your industrial processes push the limits with high-temperature gas streams, your baghouse filters need to keep up. That’s where aramid fabric, commonly called NOMEX, comes in—a material engineered to thrive under extreme conditions. Here’s why it might be the perfect solution for your filtration needs.
Built for High-Temperature Performance
Aramid fabric is designed to handle gas streams up to 400°F (204°C), far surpassing the capabilities of polyester, polypropylene, or acrylic fibers. Its non-flammable and self-extinguishing properties make it a reliable choice for industries where sparks or hot embers could be a concern.
Strength and Abrasion Resistance
In addition to its temperature resilience, aramid is renowned for its strength and abrasion resistance. This durability ensures that your baghouse filters maintain peak performance over time, even in harsh environments where other materials may fail.
Moisture Resistance and Hydrolysis Considerations
Aramid’s hydrolysis resistance makes it well-suited for high-moisture gas streams. However, it’s worth noting that in environments where temperatures exceed 300°F and moisture is present, hydrolysis may still occur. Proper system assessments are essential to optimize performance.
Chemical Compatibility
Aramid fabric offers excellent resistance to alkaline substances, making it ideal for environments where basic compounds are present. However, it has poor resistance to acids, so understanding your system’s chemical makeup is critical in selecting the right filter media.
Why Choose Aramid?
- High-temperature resistance: Handles up to 400°F.
- Strength and durability: Long-lasting, abrasion-resistant material.
- Safety: Non-flammable and self-extinguishing properties.
