knitted wire mesh / elastomer cored / knitted

Our elastomer cored knitted wire meshes consist of layers of knitted wire over a low-closing-force rubber or elastomer core. They offer the same EMI shielding effectiveness of all-mesh variations.

Most commonly two layers of mesh are used, but sometimes a single layer of knitted wire mesh will suffice and in extreme cases, such as electromagnetic pulse, up to seven layers of knitted mesh will be used. Cored knitted mesh is sometimes combined with an environmental seal and can provide IP ratings of 65 or above, depending on the materials used and the suitability of the mating surfaces (see Knitted wire mesh with environmental seal).

The elastomer core materials are usually sponges (neoprene, silicone, EPDM or polyurethane) although for many applications a silicone or neoprene tube can be specified.

P & P Technology knit all mesh over elastomer cores to our customers specifications in a ISO9001 controlled environment ensuring our customers benefit from excellent quality, good lead times & competitive prices.
