Washing Machine & Dryer Lint Filter Mesh in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for trapping lint and fibers in washing machines and tumble dryers before they reach the pump, drain or heater. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
