Steel Wire Mesh

Present its high-performance mesh solutions at Techtextil

“The wide range of weave types and material combinations opens new solutions in areas in which metal mesh has not yet been used for optimising products or processes Steel Wire Mesh

. The latest examples are hybrid mesh and the new optimised dutch weaves (ODW), which GKD will present at the world's leading trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens,” the company reports. “These tap a broad range of potential – from waste water filtration to carpets – and provide the inspiration for lateral thinkers to come up with new solutions.”

Hybrid mesh

At the exhibition, GKD will show how a new hybrid mesh can help enhance qualities of high-tech solutions for carpets. The typical hair yarn-style appearance of the Perlon Rips woolen yarn from ANKER, which is woven from polyamide fibres, is coupled with the typical properties of stainless steel. The warp and weft wires made of Steel Wire Mesh – combined with woolen yarn in the weft direction – are the defining feature of this mesh structure. In terms of functionality, the product is said to exhibit strength and shielding from electromagnetic radiation while also maintaining the flexibility typical of a carpet.
