Mesh

Mesh consists of wires or fibers woven or knitted into a grid or screen pattern to create a semi-permeable barrier.

Metal Balls

Metal balls are rolling, spherical elements that exhibit greater strength and toughness than plastic and ceramic balls. They have a sufficient hardness for many industrial ball applications, and most products are electrically conductive. Some steel, nickel, and cobalt balls can be magnetized. Metal balls made from certain alloys can also provide corrosion resistance and refractory resistance.

Metal Shapes and Stock (2 Guides)

Shaped metal parts and metal stock. They are fabricated through various processes and available in many different forms and sizes.

Netting

Netting is an open-meshed material used to protect, filter, or restrict. Netting products range from extremely fine fiber mesh to industrial-grade material netting.

Perforated Sheet Materials

Perforated sheet materials are used as screens in separators, walkways, sunscreens, ventilation, and decorative coverings. They are constructed by machining or punching holes in a piece of sheet metal or plastic.

Screens

Screens consist of a surface with openings of specific sizes.  They may be made in many ways, including perforating a sheet, weaving metal wire or synthetic fibers or electroforming.  Among other uses, screens are commonly used to provide open but secure separation for a clean environment and flying objects, debris or insects. 

Tarpaulins

Tarpaulins are used to provide cover and protection from exposure to rain, sunlight, and other environmental conditions.
