I'm looking for the mesh to work with solvent NPM. Does Nylon or PEEK mesh can be used? Are they dissolved in NMP very fast? Any other recommondations? Thanks!

NMP will dissolve Nylon, 66, at elevated temperatures I would suspect that it happens at over 150C. We used it in a process study at elevated pressure and temperature to dissolve nylon. I do recall that Nylon solubility was greatly affect by other solvents added to NMP though NMP did a fair job alone.

Nylon should be ok as stated above if the tmeperature is kept less than 60C. I would carefully watch the combinations of different materials.
