Hi All, We are looking to find a "safe" material to use to filter dust/lint ... from fan openings in a product chassis.
I have talked to our mechanical engineer, the ideal material would: 1. Serve to filter dust/lint from air coming into our chassis. (I don't have an exact spec for particle size.) 2. The material would be die cuttable so that we could have a shop cut different configurations of it in large quantities. 3. About 1/8" to 1/16" thick. 4. Non hygroscopic (won't absorb water) 5. Non-flammable. 6. Slightly compressible (We would want to deflect the material possibly 10% or so just to hold it in place. I would assume a maximum desired deflection of 25%.) 7. Strong (i.e. we don't want it to rip or tear) Does anybody know of a material that comes close to what we want? AdTHANKSvance for your help.
