Copper Wire Mesh

The soft and malleable properties of copper make it ideal for woven wire mesh.

One of the key advantages of copper wire mesh is its high electrical conductivity, making it highly sought after for electrical noise screening. Moreover, its exceptional thermal conductivity positions it as a preferred choice for industrial heat-sinking applications.

Why Choose Copper Wire Mesh?

• Superior Electrical Conductivity
  Copper is prized for its exceptional electrical conductivity, making it the go-to choice for EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) and RFI (Radio-Frequency Interference) shielding applications.
• Exceptional Thermal Conductivity
  With thermal conductivity up to eight times greater than that of other metals, copper mesh is ideal for industrial heat shielding. It’s an excellent choice for environments requiring efficient heat dissipation, ensuring that equipment remains at optimal temperature levels.
• Versatility
  Ductile, easy to work, join and install. Copper is easily joined metallurgically by welding, soldering or brazing. Its softness means it can be formed to fit most design configurations.
• Tensile strength
  Despite its softness, copper wire mesh boasts impressive tensile strength, ensuring robust structural integrity even under adverse conditions.
• Low thermal expansion
  Low thermal expansion characteristics, meaning it will maintain its shape and structural integrity despite fluctuations in temperature.
• Does not react with water
  Copper does not react with water under normal conditions. It is resistant to corrosion and will not corrode in pure water. However, when exposed to atmospheric oxygen, copper can slowly oxidise, forming a layer of copper oxide. This oxide layer can help protect the underlying metal from further corrosion, unlike iron, which rusts in the presence of water and oxygen.
• Biostatic Nature
  Bacteria does grow on copper wire mesh, making it an ideal choice for hygienic environments in hospitals, kitchens, and other sensitive applications.
• Long Lasting and Maintenance Free
  Its long-lasting and maintenance-free characteristics make copper the leading choice for many mechanical and industrial systems. It never requires painting for protection from corrosion. In addition, a thin film forms, providing natural protection from corrosion.
• Fire Safety
  Copper wire mesh will not burn or support combustion. It will not carry fire through floors, walls and ceilings, and it will not decompose into toxic gases.
• Sustainability
  100% recyclable without any loss of quality, whether in a raw state or contained in a manufactured product. In volume, copper is the third most recycled metal after iron and aluminium. It is estimated that 80% of the copper ever mined is still in use today
• Distinctive colour
  Copper is one of only four elemental metals with a natural colour other than grey or silver which makes it ideal for many decorative applications. The raw metal has a red-orange colour, which changes on exposure to the elements. Exposure creates a distinctive natural green verdigris or patina used to effect by architects and designers. The final patina is a particularly durable layer that is highly resistant to atmospheric corrosion, thereby protecting the underlying metal against further weathering.
