Stainless Steel Wire Cloth

This wire cloth is commonly used to make strainers, filter screens, and sieves.

Stainless Steel Wire Cloth Discs

A convenient solution for inline filtering, discs are die cut for an exact diameter with smooth edges for use in tube, pipe, and duct.

Precision Stainless Steel Wire Cloth

Often used in sieves and vibratory shakers for testing applications, the openings of this wire cloth are woven to a tight size tolerance for accurate, consistent sifting results.

High-Volume Particle-Filtering Stainless Steel Wire Cloth

Also known as bolting grade, this wire cloth has a large percentage of open area and ultra-thin wire to maintain flow. Use to sift and sort large quantities of dense nonabrasive materials.

Lightweight-Particle-Filtering Stainless Steel Wire Cloth

Minimize clogs of dry powdered materials in sifting and sizing applications with this wire cloth, also known as milling grade.

Stainless Steel Wire Cloth with Rectangular Openings

Maximize flow when straining your liquid process lines—material passes more quickly through this wire cloth's rectangular openings than through other wire cloth.

Sanitary Precision Stainless Steel Wire Cloth

Designed for use in food, pharmaceutical, and other sanitary environments, this precision wire cloth is sintered (fused together) to create a strong, smooth surface that’s free of crevices where contaminants can collect.

Super-Small-Particle-Filtering Stainless Steel Wire Cloth

Also known as Dutch weave, this wire cloth has a tight weave that traps tiny particles and provides strength for use in high-pressure and high-flow applications.

Easy-to-Form Stainless Steel Wire Cloth

The welded joints keep opening sizes uniform and prevent fraying as you bend this wire cloth.

Extra-Rigid Stainless Steel Wire Cloth

Also known as space cloth, wires are crimped where they intersect to maintain an accurate opening size when used with heavy materials. The crimping process also adds strength and rigidity.

Steel Wire Cloth

Steel Wire Cloth Discs

These discs are die cut to an exact diameter with smooth edges for use in tube, pipe, and duct.

Steel Wire Cloth

Good for use with abrasive materials in noncorrosive applications, this steel wire cloth has excellent strength and good wear resistance.

Extra-Rigid Steel Wire Cloth

Also known as space cloth, wires are crimped where they intersect to maintain an accurate opening size when used with heavy materials. The crimping process also adds strength and rigidity.

Easy-to-Form Galvanized Steel Wire Cloth

The welded joints keep opening sizes uniform and prevent fraying as you bend this wire cloth.

Easy-to-Form PVC-Coated Galvanized Steel Wire Cloth

Build screens, barriers, and enclosures that last—the PVC coating on this wire cloth provides excellent corrosion and wear resistance for a long service life.

Galvanized Steel Wire Cloth

This wire cloth is woven and available in the widest variety of sizes we offer.

Extra-Rigid Galvanized Steel Wire Cloth

Also known as space cloth, wires are crimped where they intersect to maintain an accurate opening size when used with heavy materials. The crimping process also adds strength and rigidity.

Epoxy-Coated Steel Wire Cloth

The epoxy coating on this wire cloth makes the steel oil resistant, protects it from corrosion, and adds rigidity for a long service life.

Wire Cloth Sample Packs

Compare mesh size, rigidity, or construction with sample packs.

Aluminum Wire Cloth

Choose aluminum wire cloth for good corrosion resistance at a lighter weight than steel or stainless steel.

Extra-Rigid Aluminum Wire Cloth

Also known as space cloth, wires are crimped where they intersect to maintain an accurate opening size when used with heavy materials. The crimping process also adds strength and rigidity.

Brass, Bronze, and Copper Wire Cloth

Brass Wire Cloth with Rectangular Openings

Maximize flow when straining your liquid process lines—material passes more quickly through this wire cloth's rectangular openings than through other wire cloth.

Brass Wire Cloth

More corrosion-resistant in salt water than stainless steel, these brass wire cloths are often used in marine environments.

Bronze Wire Cloth

Bronze is more abrasion resistant than brass and copper for a longer service life.

Copper Wire Cloth

Unlike brass and bronze, copper is nonsparking and nonmagnetic.

Nickel-Alloy Wire Cloth

High-Temperature Nickel-Chromium Wire Cloth

Also known as Nichrome, nickel-chromium alloy withstands high temperatures while resisting oxidation and scale formation.

Acid-Resistant 400 Nickel Wire Cloth

Also known as Monel 400, this nickel-copper alloy is the most corrosion resistant of our wire cloth.

Plastic and Rubber Mesh

Plastic Mesh

This wear-resistant nylon mesh has openings that meet an exact size tolerance, providing accurate, consistent results in filtering and sifting applications.

Plastic Mesh Discs

Convenient for inline filtering, use these discs in pipe and tubing.

Moisture-Resistant Plastic Mesh

Even when wet, this mesh stays strong.

Chemical-Resistant Plastic Mesh

Use with acetone, citric acid, ethyl alcohol.

Rigid High-Temperature Plastic Mesh

Contain, reinforce, separate, or protect materials with this stiff mesh. It is often used in ovens and dryers and can be used with food and beverages.

High-Temperature Plastic Mesh

Made of FDA-listed materials, this mesh withstands temperatures up to 475° F.

Rigid Plastic Mesh

Use this stiff mesh to contain, reinforce, separate, or protect materials.

UV-Resistant Plastic Mesh

Use in outdoor applications.

Abrasion-Resistant Rubber Mesh

Screen rocks, gravel, and other large abrasive material in wet or dry environments.

Plastic Mesh Sample Packs

Keep a convenient range of mesh sizes on hand.
