MicroGrid®
MicroGrid® precision-expanded foils from Dexmet are used in batteries,
electronics, aerospace, medical, packaging, and wherever mesh and
perforated foils with high precision, mechanical and electrical properties
or EMI/ RFI shielding capabilities 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.
From our expanded metal a range of standard diamond
mesh sizes from .416" to .020" is available. The number
of openings per square inch can vary from 25 to as many as 11,000, with
an open area from 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 or expanded metal with unique characteristics
for your particular application. Dexmet's extensive manufacturing
resources can accommodate many process variations for metal materials
in a range of finished thicknesses.
