The assurance of producing high-strength, particle-free filaments is one reason.

Mott porous metal filters provide absolute removal of particles, to avoid weak spots that can cause breakage. Plus, the channel structure unique to Mott media creates a shear effect, resulting in alignment of polymer molecules for even greater fiber strength.

A lower risk factor.
Absolute filtration from Mott offers the greatest assurance of particle retention. Not just the ones that cause breakage near the spinnerette. But also the finer impurities that can cause even worse trouble later on. And because Mott filters are the strongest you can buy, you have the added comfort of knowing that the media will not warp or deform, even at pressures to 25,000 psig.

Longer on-stream life means lower cost.
The uniformity of Mott media provides consistently uniform start-up pressures, for a longer, more predictable on-stream life. And with the high surface area of Mott’s innovative Extended Area Pack (EAP), Mott filters last up to 5 times longer than other media. They’re also fully cleanable and reusable, to extend your investment even further.

A long-established record of success.
Mott has been a leading supplier of filters to the polymer industry for decades, with over 35 years’ experience in the design and manufacture of porous metal media.

Bad breaks with your fiber? Switch to Mott.
We’ve only described some of the reasons why polymer producers switch to Mott filters. Want to know why you should, too? Tell us your polymer. If it’s Mott-compatible, we’ll give you at least a dozen reasons to switch from your current filtration media. Whether it’s screen, felt metal, fibrous metal, or any other.
