Window screen - is it safe?

I have an idea I want to build for a carbon filter but I need to keep the carbon from being pushed out of the canister. I have access to all the window screen I can use but is it safe in a reef tank? This would be the fiberglass black mesh that you have on the windows in your house.

Thanks!
