Estene
100% Polyester Monofilament
Density 1.380 Kg/m3
Diameter range 0,048 - 1,7 mm
Count range 25 - 27.747 dTex

This monofilament can be produced either with a natural transparent polymer or with a matt polymer pigmented with titanium dioxide (TiO2).
ESTENE has many different applications, in view of its special features, such as very good toughness, resistance to low and high temperatures, chemical agents, ultraviolet rays and wear. Due to its low moisture absorption, it has a very good dimensional stability.
The main applications of this monofilament are ribbons, reinforcement for conveyor belts, filtration fabrics. It can be used in contact with food (FDA).
Other special applications are screen printing fabrics and paper machines forming fabric and drying felts.
