A superior alternative to woven wire, our precision expanded metals are used in a wide variety of applications that require an open-area product. Dexmet expanded metal foils are used for aerospace and wind turbine lightning strike protection, EMI shielding, advanced primary and secondary battery electrode design, automobile bearings and bushings, as well as air and hydraulic filtration systems. All our expanded metals can be tailored to meet specific mechanical and electrical performance parameters. Whether it's EMI shielding effectiveness or lightning strike conductivity, the process of metal foil expansion is infinitely variable and can be fine-tuned to meet your performance specifications. Dexmet MicroGrid® expanded metal foils are available in most ductile metals, or we can work with your proprietary material.
