Fantastically Flexible Products

Dexmet precision expanded metal and expanded plastic products are used in batteries, electronics, aerospace, aircraft, medical, packaging, filters, fuel cells, heating elements, resistors, load banks, food & drug products, automotive and wherever mesh and perforated foils, metals and plastics with high precision characteristics are required. They are available in most metals and polymers, or we can work with your proprietary materials. Metals we regularly produce include: aluminum, brass, copper, Monel™, nickel, steel, stainless steel, and zinc.

A range of standard diamond mesh sizes is available. As many as 8,000 openings per square inch can be achieved, with an open area from as much as 95% to as low as 10%. The variable open area facilitates lamination with a variety of other materials, including those which expand, contract and flex.

We'll even design a precision expanded foil, expanded metal or expanded plastic with unique characteristics for your particular application. Dexmet's extensive manufacturing resources can accommodate a host of process variations.
