Etched Mesh, also known as photo-etched or photochemically etched mesh, represents the pinnacle of high-precision metal filtration. Unlike traditional woven structures, our etched mesh is manufactured using a sophisticated photochemical etching (PCE) process that chemically dissolves metal to create precise openings in flat sheets. This results in a perfectly flat surface, eliminating wire overlap and mechanical stress, making it the ideal choice for micro-screening and critical filtration applications.
At Jinzehong, we specialize in delivering custom etched mesh solutions that meet the most demanding tolerances (up to ±0.01mm). Whether you require complex hole geometries, ultra-thin materials down to 0.02mm, or specialized alloys like Inconel and Monel, our precision etching technology ensures burr-free edges and absolute consistency across every sheet, empowering industries from aerospace to semiconductor manufacturing.

Chemical dissolution ensures perfectly smooth edges, eliminating the risks associated with mechanical burrs in medical and aerospace parts.
Unlike woven mesh, there are no wire intersections, providing a completely flat surface on both sides for seamless integration.
Achieve exact hole tolerances as tight as ±0.01mm, critical for high-precision fuel injection and semiconductor screening.
Break free from standard grids. We can etch any custom pattern, logo, or complex geometry according to your CAD drawings.
The non-contact chemical process prevents deformation, ensuring the material's physical properties remain intact.
Capability to etch materials as thin as 0.02mm, a feat impossible for traditional weaving or punching methods.
Rigorous selection of industrial-grade SS304, 316, Nickel, and special alloys with full MTR reports.
Collaborative CAD review and phototool optimization to ensure design feasibility and cost-efficiency.
Multi-stage verification including dimensional measurement, flatness checks, and visual inspection.
Fast-track phototool fabrication for small batch samples before moving to mass production.
Complete custom fabrication from standard sheets to complex assembled precision components.
Secure packaging and reliable worldwide shipping to meet international project schedules.
| Feature Comparison | Etched Mesh | Woven Wire Mesh |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Flatness | Perfectly Flat | Slight Variations |
| Edge Quality | Burr-Free (Chemical) | Mechanical Burrs possible |
| Hole Geometry | Any Custom Shape | Square or Slotted only |
| Dimensional Accuracy | ±0.01mm to ±0.05mm | Limited by wire diameter |
| Application Focus | High-Precision/Critical | General Purpose/Economical |
Etched mesh is chemically produced from a flat sheet, resulting in a perfectly flat, burr-free surface with exact tolerances and custom hole shapes. Woven mesh is made by interlacing wires, which creates intersections and limits hole geometry to square or slotted patterns.
Depending on the material thickness, we can achieve hole sizes as small as 0.03mm (30 microns), making it ideal for ultra-fine filtration.
We offer a wide range of materials including Stainless Steel 304 and 316, Copper, Brass, Nickel, and high-performance alloys such as Monel, Inconel, and Kovar.
Yes, we specialize in custom manufacturing. You can provide your design via CAD or technical drawings, and our engineering team will optimize the phototool for production.
Yes. Because the process uses chemical dissolution rather than mechanical punching or cutting, there is no physical force applied, resulting in perfectly smooth edges without burrs.
Our standard production capability covers sheets up to 500mm x 600mm, though larger custom sizes may be available upon request.
