The phosphor bronze wire mesh is widely used in the papermaking industry. The bronze brings a special combination of copper and zinc to fit a range of technical and decorative projects. The bronze mesh is also available in fine opening sizes.
The commonly mesh sizes for papermaking is 20mesh to 100mesh. The selection of wire mesh size depends on the amount of short fiber it is desirable to include in the pulp. The smaller the mesh openings, the more short fiber and clay will be retained and the less the hydraulic loading can be exerted per square meter of mesh surface area.
