Micro Expanded Metal – Versatile, Functional, Flexible

Micro expanded metal is produced from light gauge metals and foils with excellent ductile. The metals and foils are produced through slit and expand into a high precision mesh material for specific weight and dimensional requirements. We manufactured from 0.002" （50 µm）thick, up to 49.21" (1250 mm) in width. Micro expanded metal has wide ranges of applications in shielding, lightning strike protection, batteries and other applications.
