Stainless Steel Bolting Wire Cloth Key Industrial Bolting Cloth Properties and Characteristics
Also known as tensile bolting cloth, or TBC, this material features a square weave that is achieved via the implementation of plain weaving technology. This ensures that the finished product exhibits the desired thin structure and high permeation. The mesh also consists of a smooth, flat surface without the presence of joint knots.
Other valuable stainless steel bolting cloth characteristics include excellent corrosion resistance and strong resistance to acids and alkalis. Additionally, industrial bolting cloth is able to withstand the potentially adverse effects of ultraviolet radiation.
Bolting Cloth Applications
Bolting cloth products have numerous industrial applications entailing a combination of superior strength and exceptionally high capacity. Because of its smaller, finer wire diameters, it yields a comparatively light material with a higher percentage of open areas, making it suitable for various sifting and screen printing processes. Examples of the many industries that use bolting cloth products include:
- Aerospace
- Petroleum
- Chemical manufacturing
- Environmental protection
- Mining
- Electronics
- Metallurgy
- Paper manufacturing
