Custom Products for Custom Applications
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.
Dexmet Corporation Reach Policy
The EC Regulation 1907/2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals establishes an EU wide regulatory framework for this purpose. REACH, which came into force on June 1, 2007, covers all substances, whether manufactured in the EU or imported, put on the market on their own, in preparations, or in articles, with some exceptions.
Fortunately, all of the products produced by the Dexmet Corporation are categorized as Articles under the regulation with no intended release and are therefore exempt from registration under the regulation. We do, however, have the responsibility of monitoring the ongoing additions being made to the list of Substances of Very High Concern or SVHC’s. If an article contains an SVHC on the candidate list in a concentration exceeding 0.1% by weight, then we will report that to our customer in accordance with the REACH requirements.
