Air Inlet Screens
Dexmet expanded MicroGrid meshes are perfect for air inlet screens on commercial automobiles and high performance race cars. Typical areas where meshes are utilized are radiator screens, brake cooling inlets and engine air intakes. The openings can be more restrictive to filter out debris and small particles or enlarged for increased airflow. The expanded material also becomes a decorative component to the automobile as well so expanded materials are not only functional but good looking as well.
Expanded MicroGrid for Automotive Applications
Dexmet precision expanded metals are used in a host of primary OEM and aftermarket automotive products. Typical applications include: low-cost greaseless bearings, high temperature gaskets, airbags, inlet screen and filtration. Dexmet bronze mesh is used as a lubricating material and support structure in bearings primarily for automotive applications. In addition, these expanded metals are ideal for automotive speaker grills & covers, light covers, protective light mesh and decorative applications. Automotive engineers continue to adapt Dexmet expanded metals and some expanded plastics in innovative ways.
Dexmet expanded metals and foils are the materials of choice in airbag filters. As compared to the typical extruded material or woven material, Dexmet expanded metal saves money by eliminating waste and will not unravel during processing. Dexmet expanded metals and foils are available in a wider range of widths, thicknesses, and open area configurations than any other material type. This combined with the ability to perform custom slitting and edge treatments makes Dexmet the premier supplier for airbag filter materials.
