Compressed knitted wire gaskets
Compressed knitted wire mesh washers, gaskets and seals utilize knitted wire mesh formed under pressure into resilient high density profiles.
Applications
Compressed knitted wire mesh profiles are used as gland rings, grounding buttons, magnetron seals and numerous other applications where a high density mesh is required for effective EMI shielding.
Each application will be individual and related to the specific and mechanical properties of the gasket so please contact us to discuss your requirements.
