Dynapore® Series Canvas Wire Mesh

MKIs proprietary molecular diffusion-bonding process may be used to laminate one or more layers of woven wire mesh to a sheet of metal foil. In the simplest case, a single layer of wire mesh is laminated to a sheet of thin-gauge rolled foil. This type of basic two-layer laminate is sold under our Foil-Mesh™ trademark, and is widely used in applications ranging from heat pipes and satellite-based ionic propulsion systems to orthodontic appliances. The wire mesh may be either a plain square weave mesh, or a micronic filter cloth. The foil may be as thin as .002 or as heavy as 16-gauge sheet.

In other cases several layers of mesh may be laminated to one or both sides of a foil sheet, or alternating layers of foils and meshes may be built up to create a compartmentalized matrix. This useful class of materials finds application in specialized heat exchangers, and in a variety of fuel cell applications.
