XF Flattened Mesh

XF Type expanded metal mesh features a smooth, flattened surface created by pressing the mesh strands and joints with a rolling machine. Compared with standard raised expanded mesh, its flat surface is easier for coating, bonding, and combining with other materials.

It is suitable for air filters, laminated glass, safety protection, and other functional applications. XF Type can also serve as an alternative to perforated metal mesh while maintaining the strength, lightweight structure, and material efficiency of expanded metal.

XF Type Mesh
XF Type mesh has the same basic specification concept as XS Type mesh. The main difference is that XF Type undergoes an additional flattening process by rolling machine, which presses the wire strands and joints from a raised 3D structure into a flatter 2D surface.

 

 

Key Advantages
Flattened 2D Surface
The raised mesh structure is flattened by a rolling process, creating a smoother and more even surface.

 

 

Better Bonding Performance
With its flattened surface, XF Type mesh bonds more easily with coatings, adhesives, sponge, glass layers, and other materials, making it suitable for air filters, laminated safety glass, protective panels, industrial components, and machinery guards.

 

 

Stable Quality and Specification Consistency
Can be manufactured according to JIS G 3351 and CNS 12728-G3246 standards for dependable quality and specification stability.

 

 

Suitable for Filter and Composite Applications
Ideal for air filters, sponge bonding, laminated safety glass, protective panels, and other functional applications.

 

 

Smooth Appearance and Practical Functionality
Provides a cleaner surface finish while maintaining the open mesh structure for ventilation, filtration, and protection.

 

 

 

Applications
01
Air filters, sponge-bonded filter mesh, laminated safety glass, protective panels, machinery guards, industrial components, automotive parts, safety barriers, ventilation panels, architectural design materials, and general protective facilities.

    The width of each strand forming the diamond-shaped opening.
  • LWM: Length
    Direction of the LW diamond.
  • SWM: Width
    Direction of the SW diamond.
  • Thickness: Material Thickness
  • Overall Thickness:
    The overall thickness can be approximately 1 to 2.5 times the material thickness.
  • All thickness, strand width, and weight are subject to a tolerance of +/-5%.
  • Standard sheet sizes: 3' x 6', 4' x 8', 5' x 10' and 8' x 4', 10' x 5' (LWM x SWM)

 

Mesh Style
  • Standard / Raised type:
    Standard expanded metal, also known as raised expanded metal or 3D mesh type, is produced by slitting and stretching a metal sheet to form diamond-shaped openings.
  • Flattened type:
    Flattened expanded metal, also known as 2D type, is made by passing standard expanded metal through a rolling process to flatten the raised strands and joints.
