Product Types
Standard Raised Micro Mesh
Structure: Retains the natural angled strand orientation formed during the expansion process.
Key Characteristics: High 3D surface area, three-dimensional mechanical anchorage, structural rigidity, and enhanced fluid turbulence.
Primary Applications: Battery electrodes, fuel cell diffusion layers, catalyst substrates, and heavy-duty filtration.
Flattened Micro Mesh
Structure: Cold-rolled through precision leveling rolls post-expansion to align strands parallel to the sheet plane.
Key Characteristics: Smooth, uniform thickness surface without raised strand edges; eliminates sharp burrs to protect adjacent delicate membranes or filter media.
Primary Applications: Precision air filters, EMI shielding gasket backing, acoustic covers, speaker grilles, and laminated composite structures.

Stainless Steel (304, 304L, 316, 316L)
High corrosion resistance for chemical processing, marine filtration elements, and medical components.
Copper and Brass
High electrical and thermal conductivity for grounding layers, EMI shielding, and anti-static applications.
Pure Nickel (Ni200 / Ni201)
High oxidation resistance and chemical stability in alkaline environments for lithium-ion battery current collectors and electrolyzers.
Titanium (Grade 1, Grade 2)
High strength-to-weight ratio and acid corrosion resistance for chlor-alkali electrolysis cells and aerospace structures.
Aluminum (1050, 1100, 3003, 5052)
Lightweight electrical conductivity for acoustic grilles and aircraft lightning strike protection (LSP).
Surface Finishes and OEM Processing
Ultrasonic Degreasing: Multi-stage aqueous cleaning to remove drawing lubricants, oils, and particulate matter for cleanroom and battery assembly lines.
Thermal Annealing: Vacuum or protective atmosphere annealing to relieve internal stresses, restoring ductility for continuous roll bending and deep drawing operations.
Precision Edge Trimming: Slit-to-width coils with deburred edge profiling to prevent tearing during continuous automated unwinding.
Plating and Protective Coatings: Electro-galvanizing, nickel plating, or custom functional coatings upon request.
Primary Applications
Battery and Energy Storage: Anode and cathode current collector grids, solid-state battery substrates, and hydrogen fuel cell gas diffusion layers (GDL).
EMI and RFI Shielding: Electronic enclosure seam gaskets, shielded display windows, Faraday cages, and flexible cable wraps.
Precision Industrial Filtration: Fine liquid filters, oil-water separation screens, air intake strainers, and hydraulic fluid filter elements.
Aerospace Composites: Embedded lightning strike protection (LSP) layers integrated directly into carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP).
Acoustics and Electronics: Protective dust and moisture grilles for automotive audio systems, mobile devices, and professional studio microphones.
Manufacturing Standards and Quality Control
Tooling Maintenance
Carbide micro-dies are serviced with optical profile grinding machinery to keep production burr heights below 0.02 mm (20 microns).
In-Line Optical Inspection:
Automated vision camera systems continuously measure aperture uniformity (SWD and LWD pitch) and flag edge defects during coil winding.
Physical Parameter Testing
Every production batch undergoes lot testing for strand thickness, sheet weight per square meter, open area percentage, and tensile breaking strength.
Traceability and Certification
Shipped with Mill Test Certificates according to EN 10204 3.1 standards, as well as RoHS and REACH compliance reports.

According to the chemical and physical properties of the products, we use waterproof, moisture-proof and breakage-proof materials for packaging to avoid product damage during transportation. In addition, we can also provide customized packaging according to customer's specific requirements to meet the special needs of different customers.
