Let's start with polyester. Polyester performs well in applications under 275 degrees Fahrenheit. It is a widely used low-cost filter media option. It is resistant to abrasion and performs well in dry temperatures. It is widely used in applications including food manufacturing and agriculture.
Aramid
Now let's move on to aramid. Aramid is used in applications anywhere below 400 degrees Fahrenheit it is used mostly in cement industries, metalworking and castings, as well as foundries. Just like polyester, aramid offers good resistance to abrasion.
Fiberglass
Fiberglass is one of our specialty medias that works well in applications operating above 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to extreme high temperature, fiberglass works well where moist heat is present. Industries that use fiberglass is typically found in chemicals, minerals, energy pipelines and utilities. Keep in mind there are other specialty medias out there.
