- Weaving & Processing Types
- Plain Weave The most conventional weaving process, warp and weft wires interweave one over one under. Features uniform openings, flat surface, high permeability, easy cleaning; widely used for conventional screening, filtration and protection.
- Twill Weave Warp and weft wires interweave two over two under, with denser structure and higher bearing capacity. Suitable for high-precision filtration, fine particle classification and high-pressure working conditions.
- Dutch Weave (Reverse Dutch Weave / Double Dutch Weave) Adopts thick warp wires and thin weft wires, or double-layer dense weaving structure. Features ultra-high density, small and uniform openings, strong pressure resistance and precise filtration; dedicated for liquid/gas precision filtration, polymer melt filtration, pharmaceutical and chemical fine separation.

- Custom Packaging: Special labeling, moisture-proof, shockproof and export packaging can be provided according to customer requirements.
- Store in a dry, ventilated, cool and rainproof indoor environment, avoid open-air storage and direct rain soaking.
- Keep away from acid, alkali, salt and other corrosive chemicals and humid gas sources.
- Do not stack heavy objects on the product to prevent compression deformation.
- Avoid sharp friction, collision and scratch on the mesh surface during handling.
- Transportation Notes
- Handle with care during loading, unloading and transportation, prohibit throwing, dragging and heavy impact.
- Take rainproof, moistureproof and sun protection measures during long-distance transportation.
- Fix the product firmly to prevent sliding, rolling and mutual extrusion damage.
- For export transportation, comply with international maritime, land and air transport packaging safety norms.
- Installation & Use Notes
- Before installation, check product specifications, material, size and appearance integrity to confirm matching with working condition requirements.
- When cutting the mesh, use professional metal cutting tools; wear protective equipment to avoid scratch by burrs.
- When fixing and installing, keep the mesh flat and properly tensioned; do not pull violently to prevent wire breakage or hole deformation.
- In high-corrosion, high-temperature or high-flow scouring environments, select corresponding material grade (316/316L recommended) to ensure service life.
- For filtration and sieving scenarios, clean mesh deposits regularly to maintain permeability and working efficiency.
- Do not use stainless steel wire mesh in contact with strong oxidizing acids, molten alkali and other ultra-violent corrosive media beyond its performance range.
- Welding processing should be operated by professionals; for low-carbon grades 304L/316L, post-weld passivation treatment can be selected to improve corrosion resistance.
- Maintenance & Cleaning
- Regularly remove surface dust, impurities and attachments with clean water, compressed air or soft brush.
- For oil and dirt contamination, use neutral detergent or alcohol for wiping; prohibit strong acid/alkali cleaning agents.
- After cleaning, keep the mesh surface dry to avoid residual liquid causing local corrosion.
- For damaged, deformed or locally corroded mesh, replace it in time to avoid affecting normal use.
- Precision filtration mesh should be cleaned and maintained regularly according to working conditions to extend service life.
