In many corrosive or sensitive process media straining applications, plastic is the preferred material of construction for a basket strainer. Moulded basket strainers are resistant to a wide variety of corrosive acids and other aggressive materials. They will work in applications that may require a much more expensive exotic alloy – if one were easily available. Their plastic constructions ensure that they will not contaminate sensitive process media such as photographic chemicals and de-ionized water.
