More information about High Transparency Mesh

OVERVIEW

These meshes are produced using highly sophisticated wire drawing and weaving technologies. Stainless steel T304 rod is drawn to an extremely smooth close tolerance wire many times finer than a single strand of human hair. You can see through these gauzy, delicate stainless steel meshes.

Stainless steel: optically clear, high transparency meshes, listed in this section, are used in the manufacture of shielded windows for viewing instrumentation inside a shielded enclosure. They are also used for covering computer display screens to prevent the emanation of unwanted electrical emissions.

These meshes are produced using highly sophisticated wire drawing and weaving technologies. Stainless steel T304 rod is drawn to an extremely smooth close tolerance wire many times finer than a single strand of human hair. A computer-controlled loom weaves this into the world's most delicate metal fabric.

The result is a highly transparent, uniform mesh. It is used in shielded windows and cathode ray tubes (CRT's). Our mesh qualifies as "optical grade". It requires great care in handling. This material is woven to ISO 9044.

High Transparency Mesh - Uses

These "optical grade" precision stainless steel meshes are used for manufacturing shielded CRT screens and transparent radio frequency (RFI) shielded windows

High Transparency Mesh - Cutting and Handling

This is an extremely delicate material. The material is extremely flimsy and can be wrinkled or skewed even with careful handling. Extreme care in combination with taping the outer edges of the piece of mesh to a backing paper may assist in handling this material.
