Anyone know of a scorch-resistant mesh bag?

I brew in a big plastic tub with a heating element at the bottom (inside the tub). The last set of mesh bags that I got seemed to have a lot of problems with holes caused by the bag touching the heating element. Now, these were a very cheap set of three bags from Amazon and i'm thinking that was the reason- like maybe the strands were extra thin, or it was cheaper kind of plastic or something like that.

Some of you might be tempted to say "You should brew in a big metal bucket with a gas burner" or something like that, but I can't change my process, for various reasons. I'm just looking for a bag that, if it happens to touch the heating element for a moment, doesn't instantly grow a hole. I know that nothing is going to withstand sustained contact with the element, while it's in operation, but i think that there must be some bags out there that would do better. Any recommendations? thanks

I did search but didn't find anything useful. But it sounds like your search-fu is better than mine - can you point me at a useful article that answers this question? thanks
