Introduction
Metex Corporation has been a leader in providing knitted wire mesh supports for catalytic converters in the automotive and small engine industries for over 40 years. Their innovative approach includes using knitted wire mesh coated with precious metals to create durable, cost-effective catalysts that reduce emissions and backpressure.

Product Specifications
Metex's knitted wire mesh products are designed to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbons (HC), and particulate matter (PM). These products are customizable in size and metal loadings to meet specific performance and emissions requirements.

Emission Reduction
Small engines, such as those in lawn and garden equipment, motorcycles, and mopeds, are significant sources of air pollution. Metex's mesh catalyst designs effectively reduce emissions from these sources, offering a cost-effective alternative to ceramic and foil substrates.

Wire Mesh Exhaust Catalysts
Metex's knitted wire mesh is known for its resilience, memory, and strength, making it ideal for high-temperature and high-stress applications. The mesh is used in various industrial applications, including seals, noise attenuation, thermal insulation, and filtration.

Product Benefits

• Cost-effective with proprietary precious metal loadings
• Increased mechanical and thermal shock resistance
• Noise reduction and high efficiency with decreased backpressure
• Easy installation in existing or new assemblies
• Custom designs to meet performance and space requirements

Applications
Metex's products are suitable for motorcycles, mopeds, lawn and garden equipment, small engines, automotive applications, snowmobiles, ATVs, personal watercraft, and marine engines.

Knitted Wire Mesh vs. Ceramic and Metallic Foil Substrates
Unlike traditional substrates, Metex's knitted wire mesh ensures all exhaust gases contact the substrate, reducing the need for high precious metal loadings and lowering costs. The mesh design also prevents clogging in particle-trap applications, offering further cost savings.

Custom Design and Development
Metex provides comprehensive support from initial inquiry through production, ensuring that mesh designs and loadings meet compliance and cost requirements.
