A Buyer’s Guide to Expanded Metal Mesh Foil

Expanded metal mesh foil offers superior conductivity or resistivity while providing strength and light weight. It has many advantages compared to perforated metal and wire/woven mesh, and its use is beneficial in varying applications.

The main differences between each product type are the manufacturing process, the intended end-use, and the characteristics of the material. Expanded metal foil has unique properties that outperform other perforated and woven wire metals, such as:

• Enhanced Stability
• Increased Strength
• Excellent Conductivity
• Reduced Waste Generation

Expanded mesh is the preferred material choice in many industries due to the material’s ability to allow air, light, and fluid to pass through. The uniform diamond pattern creates structural integrity during fabrication, mitigating the risk of unraveling during manufacturing, which is often the case with woven mesh products.

The many advantages of expanded metal foil make it an ideal material choice that is lightweight, durable, and cost-effective.
