Flexible MicroGrid®

MicroGrid® precision-expanded foils from Dexmet are used in batteries, electronics, aerospace, medical, wind power, hydrogen/oxygen generation and wherever mesh and perforated foils with high precision, mechanical and electrical properties or EMI/ RFI shielding capabilities are required. They are available in most metals or we can work with your proprietary materials. Commonly produced metals include: aluminum, brass, copper, Monel™, nickel, steel, stainless steel, and zinc.

From our expanded metal a common range of standard diamond mesh sizes are from .416" to .020". The number of openings per square inch can vary from 25 to as many as 11,000, with an open area from 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 will even design a precision expanded foil or expanded metal with unique characteristics for your particular application. Dexmet's extensive manufacturing resources can accommodate many process variations for metal materials in a range of finished thicknesses.
