Would window/door screen material work to filter particles out of grease?

Had a bit of a mishap at work when I put part of a grease filtration unit into the cleaning tank (which is full of hot, caustic chemicals, used for melting food bits off of the spits) and found out that the filter mesh was not wire though it looked like it but rather some species of plastic.

I have been tasked with finding a temporary replacement while the richest company on Earth reels from the cost of replacing a $1,200 cart that should have been replaced fourteen months ago. I was thinking of window-screening material, but I’m worried that it won’t be tight enough. The filter would be stopping visible particles of what I imagine are fat globs congealing around lumps of bundled proteins.
