SS316 Perforated Photo Etching Filter Screen for Chemical Applications
Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, a trusted manufacturer based in Hengshui, Hebei, China. Our SS316 Perforated Photo Etching Filter Screen is engineered specifically for demanding chemical applications, combining precision photo etching technology with the superior corrosion resistance of grade 316 stainless steel. This product offers exceptional durability, accurate filtration, and long service life, making it an ideal choice for chemical processing, pharmaceutical filtration, and laboratory environments.
Our filter screens are manufactured using advanced photo etching (chemical milling) processes, which produce burr-free, stress-free holes with extremely tight tolerances. Unlike traditional punching or laser cutting, photo etching ensures uniform hole geometry, consistent size, and smooth edges, preventing clogging and improving filtration efficiency. The SS316 material provides excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, chlorides, and high temperatures, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh chemical environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- High Precision: Photo etching achieves hole tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm, ensuring consistent filtration results.
- Burr-Free Surface: No mechanical deformation or burrs, reducing particle entrapment and enhancing cleaning ease.
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: SS316 offers excellent resistance to chemicals, acids, and saltwater, extending service life.
- Customizable Patterns: Holes can be round, square, slotted, or custom shapes; open area and hole size tailored to your filtration needs.
- Thin & Lightweight: Available in thicknesses from 0.05mm to 3mm, suitable for compact filter assemblies.
- High Temperature Tolerance: SS316 retains strength up to 800°C (in oxidizing conditions), ideal for hot chemical processes.
- Easy to Clean & Maintain: Smooth surface and uniform holes allow simple backwashing or ultrasonic cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between SS316 and SS304 for chemical filtration?
SS316 contains molybdenum, which provides better resistance to chlorides, acids, and pitting corrosion. For aggressive chemical environments, SS316 is recommended over SS304.
2. Can the hole pattern be customized to my exact specification?
Yes. Photo etching allows any 2D shape and pattern. We can work from your CAD drawing or provide design assistance to achieve the desired open area and flow rate.
3. What is the maximum sheet size you can produce?
Standard maximum sheet size is 600mm x 1000mm, but larger sizes are available upon request. We also offer rolls and cut-to-length pieces.
4. How does photo etching compare to laser cutting for filter screens?
Photo etching produces no heat-affected zone, no burrs, and no mechanical stress. It is ideal for thin materials and fine patterns, while laser cutting may cause distortion and rough edges.
5. Is the filter screen suitable for high-pressure applications?
For high-pressure systems, we can recommend thicker material or reinforced designs. The pressure rating depends on the open area, hole size, and thickness. Our engineers can help you select the right configuration.
6. What is the typical lead time for custom orders?
Lead time depends on complexity and quantity. Standard prototypes can be shipped within 5–7 working days after artwork approval. Volume production typically takes 15–25 days.
7. Can you provide a sample before mass production?
Yes, we offer free samples (subject to freight charges) for evaluation. We also provide a sample approval process to ensure the screen meets your specifications.
8. How do I clean the SS316 filter screen after use in chemical processes?
Ultrasonic cleaning, backwashing with water or mild solvents, and chemical cleaning (if compatible with SS316) are effective. The non-porous surface resists adhesion, making cleaning straightforward.
