Nylon Mesh & Netting Products
Nylon mesh, netting and screens feature high temperature resistance, excellent strength and low elongation, and are rated for a heat deflection temperature of 347°F (175°C). Many of our nylon products comply with FDA regulations for food contact.
Choose from a variety of extruded diamond nylon mesh or woven nylon mesh configurations shown below. Extruded plastic netting features an integral joint for maximum dimensional stability. Woven net mesh offers apertures as small as 45 microns with individual strands at right angles to each other.
Extruded nylon mesh is manufactured with fused junctions where the strands meet, which gives the sheet dimensional stability and a consistent diamond aperture. It is available in different diamond configurations and can be custom-converted to your length or shape. Extruded diamond mesh is a good fit where a rigid, self-supporting sheet is preferred over a flexible woven cloth. Extruded nylon mesh is not stocked and is available by special order with minimum quantities. Contact our sales team for extruded nylon options.
Woven net mesh is made from individual monofilament strands at right angles to each other, giving precise, consistent square openings. It is stocked in a wide range of hole sizes, from as small as 45 microns, with open areas ranging from roughly 28% to 61% depending on the mesh.
Woven nylon mesh is used in filtration applications for chemical processing and water treatment, and as a plastic overwrap around the outer surface of rigid mesh tubes.
Nylon netting is available as roll goods or cut to any length you specify. Our custom converting capabilities include slitting, sheeting, and die cutting.
See our Temperature Guidelines page for all nylon resin specifications. If your application will use netting at ambient temperatures, consider polypropylene or polyethylene mesh, which is less expensive and available in a wider range of sizes and configurations.

Nylon Mesh Specifications
Heat Deflection Temperature: 347°F (175°C). Nylon mesh features high temperature resistance, excellent strength, and low elongation. Many of our nylon products comply with FDA regulations for food contact.
For melting temperature, softening point, heat deflection temperature, and glass transition temperature across all nylon resins, see our Temperature Guidelines page. The same page compares nylon with polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester and PTFE. For specifications beyond those published, contact us.
Nylon Mesh Applications
Nylon mesh and netting is used across a range of industrial, filtration, and processing applications, including:
- Filtration and chemical processing. Woven nylon mesh provides particle separation for liquid and air filtration in chemical processing and water treatment, and serves as an overwrap around the outer surface of rigid mesh tubes in cartridge filtration assemblies.
- Food processing. Many of our nylon products carry FDA-compliant grades and are used in food-contact applications such as dehydration trays and drying racks used in food production.
- Manufacturing and OEM. Woven and extruded nylon mesh is supplied for OEM filtration and component assemblies where dimensional stability matters.
- Laboratory and research. Precision woven nylon mesh is used for particle separation and sample preparation in laboratory settings.
