Materials Used

With 80+ years of experience, a complete range of forming, fabrication and assembly methods, using a variety of components and material types, Wayne Wire specializes in filtration components made of woven wire mesh, with many types available from on-hand stock.

Material Capabilities

  • Woven Wire Mesh — All Weave Patterns
    Material types and patterns include plain, square, twilled, and Dutch weaves in various combinations and metal types, ranging from very large openings down to 400 x 2800 Dutch weave stainless steel that looks and feels like the finest natural silk.
  • Expanded, Perforated & Chemically Etched
    Our portfolio includes expanded, perforated, and chemically etched materials with openings in the low micron range. We produce our own expanded metal to the most exacting industry specifications.
  • Aerospace-Grade Tolerances
    Wayne Wire was built around our aerospace customers, so the tightest of tolerances are in our DNA — and sometimes they come in miniature sizes. Our production processes ensure your finished filters will have the capacity and flow rate you've specified.
