Wetter Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Factory offers a premium selection of stainless steel wire screen printing mesh, designed to deliver exceptional results for various printing applications. Our mesh screens are meticulously crafted using high-quality stainless steel wires, ensuring exceptional durability, dimensional accuracy, and resistance to corrosion compared to traditional polyester mesh options.
Built for Exceptional Printing Performance
Wetter's stainless steel wire mesh screens are ideal for fine printing applications where precision and repeatability are critical. These screens boast several key properties that contribute to superior printing results:
- High Tension: The mesh maintains a taut surface, enabling precise ink transfer and sharp image reproduction.
- Low Elongation: Minimal stretching during printing ensures accurate image placement and consistent print quality.
- High Flexibility: The mesh offers a degree of flexibility for better conformability to curved printing surfaces.
- Non-Electrostatic: Eliminates static cling issues that can cause printing defects.
- Good Heat-Melting Resistance: Withstands high temperatures associated with certain printing processes.
- High Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to chemical solvents and cleaners, allowing for extended mesh life.
Specifications and Material Options
Wetter's stainless steel wire screen printing mesh comes in a variety of specifications to suit your specific printing needs.
- Mesh Count: Wetter offers a wide range of mesh counts, corresponding to the number of openings per linear inch. Higher mesh counts result in finer detail and are suitable for high-resolution printing.
- Wire Diameter: The diameter of the wire strands influences ink deposit thickness and overall mesh openness. Wetter provides various wire diameter options to achieve the desired printing effects.
- Mesh Roll Size: Our stainless steel wire mesh is available in standard roll widths of 1.020 meters (40 inches), 1.220 meters (48 inches), and 1.530 meters (60 inches), with a standard length of 30 meters per roll. Custom roll sizes can also be accommodated upon request.
- Material Selection: Wetter primarily offers stainless steel wire mesh screens in SUS304, 304HC, 304L, 316, and 316L grades, known for their strength, corrosion resistance, and suitability for various printing environments.
Applications and Advantages
Wetter's stainless steel wire mesh screens are widely used in a diverse range of printing applications, including:
- Silk Printing: Ideal for high-quality printing on fabrics, garments, and other textiles.
- Ceramic Printing: Enables precise application of ceramic pastes for intricate designs.
- Glass Printing: Creates detailed and durable decorative or functional prints on glass surfaces.
- Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs): Facilitates accurate solder paste deposition during PCB manufacturing.
- Keypads and Scales: Ensures clean and consistent printing of legends and markings.
While stainless steel mesh screens offer superior durability and chemical resistance compared to polyester options, it's important to consider their slightly higher cost and reduced flexibility.
