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.
