Our knitted wire mesh for removable and reusable insulation is designed for fabricating removable and reusable insulation blankets.  Due to its flexible composition, our insulation wire mesh retains and protects while conforming to highly irregular surfaces.  This allows our mesh to withstand the stresses of repeated installations, vibration, buffeting moisture, corrosion and temperature extremes. As a result, our mesh is an excellent choice  for aerospace, commercial, industrial and marine pad construction.

We supply our insulation wire mesh in either a flat or a crimped (corrugated) form. Please note that crimped mesh yields approximately 20% less coverage (see chart below).

Recommendations:

 Below is a list of our recommendations based on various insulation wire mesh needs.

• For maximum strength and temperature, we recommend the 0.0095” and 0.011” wire diameters.

• For applications that are either sewn or require less frequent replacement, we recommend the 0.008” wire diameter.

• For maximum flexibility, we recommend the 0.006” wire diameter.

• For extremely high temperature applications, we recommend the crimped mesh. Although it is reduced in coverage, the crimped mesh allows for a slight air gap in extremely high temperature applications as well as counteracts the tendency of the material to toll back when cut.

• For exhaust applications, we recommend versions 309 and 310 in Stainless Steel.
