Expanded Metal Mesh
<p>Expanded metal mesh (light type) is made by stretching and expanding with precision punching shearing machines. It is a lightweight expanded metal mesh with thin thickness (≤3mm) and small mesh openings, making it one of the top choices for building protection and reinforcement, filter element support, and heat dissipation for small electrical equipment.<br/></p>

Product information from the supplier.
Product Details
Expanded metal mesh is the ultimate cost-effective, zero-waste metal mesh solution engineered for modern construction, industrial manufacturing, and electrical engineering. Unlike conventional welded mesh that is prone to loosening, falling off and structural deformation, our expanded metal mesh adopts an integral one-piece molding process. The integrated three-dimensional mesh structure greatly enhances overall stability and pressure resistance, while maintaining outstanding air permeability, light transmittance and heat dissipation efficiency.
We provide multiple materials and surface treatments for different applications.
Material: Carbon Steel, Galvanized Steel, Aluminum, Stainless Steel, Copper, Titanium and etc.
Surface treatment: PVC coated, Powder coated, Epoxy Coated, PTFE Coated, Anodized finish.
How to choose the right material for your projects
Material | Cost (★=More Expensive) | Rust Resistance (★=Better) | Weight (★=Heavier) | Best Environment |
Mild Steel | ★☆☆☆☆ | ★☆☆☆☆ | ★★★★★ | Indoor dry, short-term use |
Galvanized | ★★☆☆☆ | ★★★☆☆ | ★★★★★ | General outdoor |
Aluminum Alloy | ★★★☆☆ | ★★★★☆ | ★☆☆☆☆ | Lightweight, decorative |
304 Stainless Steel | ★★★★☆ | ★★★★★ | ★★★☆☆ | Weak acid/alkali, food grade |
316L Stainless Steel | ★★★★★ | ★★★★★+ | ★★★☆☆ | Strong acid/alkali, seawater |
According to the surface condition. We have two types of expanded metal mesh.
Standard expanded metal mesh and flattened expanded metal mesh.
Differences between standard type and flattened type.
Standard expanded metal mesh | Flattened expanded metal mesh |
|
|
●Higher strength and load-bearing capacity ●Superior anti-slip performance ●Lower production costs ●Better ventilation and light transmission | ●Exceptionally smooth and flat surface ●Higher filtration accuracy ●More space-efficient ●Superior machinability ●Enhanced decorative appeal |
