Adhesives, Coatings & Household Materials

Adhesives, coatings and household materials need state-of-the-art filtration systems to reduce defects in product. If these types of materials are contaminated with pollutants, it can highly reduce the effectiveness of the substance as well as make it more difficult for the solution to bind to the substrate. Using high quality filtration systems is the best way to ensure your inks, paints, household materials and more are contaminant-free for best results.

The Strainrite Companies is ranked in the top 2 liquid filter bag manufacturers and is a leading supplier of filters to manufacturers of coatings, resins, paints, inks and related industries. We supply liquid filter bags and filter cartridges to customers in over 40 countries worldwide. We are also experienced in working with automotive, parts, and appliance manufacturers, surface treatment companies, printers and others who use these coating, resin, paint and ink products every day.
The Strainrite Companies produce our own filter felt in order to maintain exquisite control over every critical parameter in the filter medium manufacturing process and to tightly control quality and consistency.

We also design filters fit-for purpose – whether for paints, inks, high viscosity resins, coatings, pigmented inks, or dye-based inks. We are experienced at removing contaminants while letting pigments through, and we operate a silicone-free manufacturing environment.

We offer a line of thermally-welded filters without sewn seams – this results in a more reliable, more consistent filter product. We offer a range of materials including nylon, polypropylene, glass, polyester and many others in order to provide compatibility with both solvent and aqueous systems alike.

Adhesives: When it comes to filtration for adhesives, we take a tailored approach to meet our customer’s exact specifications. Resonator and Nylon monofilament mesh filters are most commonly used for these applications.  Resonator filters are ideal for viscous fluids because they don’t compress the fibers and block flow.  Nylon gives the customer a specific micron cut off to meet particulate specifications. Strainrite Recommends: Visc-MAXX, BRB Resinator, Sure-Weld

Paint: Filters are used during paint production and by the end user. Best filtration options for paint filtration are typically polypropylene felt and Nylon monofilament, Polypropylene felt to remove any oily residue, and nylon to strain any particulate that may have gotten in the paint.  Strainrite Recommends: Sure-Weld Bags, X-Tra Life Bags, Monofilament Mesh Bags, AA Added Area Bags

Household Materials: Household materials such as resins, coatings, pigmented inks, or dye-based inks are filtered before being put into containers, packaged, and transported to the end user. The filtration process helps avoid defects in the end product to create the best results.​ Strainrite Recommends: Ink Jet IKP, Ink Jet IKG, Ink Jet IKS, Madd-MAXX GF, Madd-MAXX XL, Visc-MAXX

 ​Coatings: In coatings, filtration is used in surface preparation.  Washers or etchants need to be clean to prepare the surface for the coating. This can be anything from a bag to a cartridge. The Madd Maxx series has been especially popular for this type of filtration because it is capable of meeting highly stringing specs and has bag filters already in place.
