Processing Capabilities

Slitting – cutting the wire cloth lengthways and rolling up to provide the exact width in the reel you require to run your operation. Slit coils can be provided with or without cores and our equipment is capable of handling widths as small as ¼ inches and lengths up to 2,000 feet.
Shearing – cutting the strip from the reel across the width, producing a finished piece to the size required in production. Our skilled operators ensure that the wire cloth or mesh has a clean-cut and does not fray

• Common metals plated on wire mesh include nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn) or tin (Sn). 
• Exotic metal mesh coatings such as Titanium (Ti), Silver (Ag), Gold (Au) and Tungsten (W) can be plated onto 304 Stainless Steel, providing a more cost-effective way of meeting design requirements.
• Non-metallic mesh coatings include epoxy coated wire mesh; also polyester, Teflon (PTFE), black vinyl (PVC), colored powder coating or galvanized finishes.
• We can apply Hydrophobic coatings directly onto the mesh. 
• Chemical processing can provide electro-polished, anodized, passivated, or etched finishes to the surface of the wire mesh.

Sintering/Diffusion Bonding – Creates a metallurgical bond between the wires in our high temperature, controlled atmosphere ovens.  This treatment can improve wire cloth rigidity, conductivity, and reduce fraying.  This process can be done with a single layer of wire cloth, or multiple layers of wires cloth and other porous metal media (sometimes referred to as laminating).  These sintered products can be created to meet your very specific needs in filtration, dewatering, and other applications.  Multi-layer laminates are most often used when a filtration layer needs to be combined with support layers for particle retention and durability.
