Overview of Knitted Wire Mesh Gaskets
Metex all-metal mesh gasketing is a versatile material used in applications requiring high attenuation, easy installation, and resilience to extreme temperatures or atmospheric conditions. These gaskets are effective in aerospace, avionics, automotive, and electronics systems for solving shielding and sealing challenges.

Materials and Specifications
Mesh gaskets can be made from ductile materials that can be drawn into wire, with diameters ranging from .0035" to .011". Common materials include:

• Monel: Nickel and copper alloy with good electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
• Tin-plated, copper-clad steel: Offers excellent electrical properties and EM attenuation across a wide frequency range.
• Aluminum: Lightweight with good electrical performance, suitable for applications where galvanic corrosion is a concern.
• Stainless Steel: Known for mechanical characteristics and corrosion resistance.

Installation methods include mechanical fasteners, press fitting, or bonding with conductive adhesive.
