Knitting wire mesh produces a mesh of interlocking loops that can move relative to each other in the same plane without distorting the mesh, giving knitted mesh a two-way stretch characteristic. As the knitted wire mesh has the characteristics of flexibility, compressibility, strength and durability, it is widely used in automotive parts
Car grille mesh is manufactured from Crimped mesh. Originally manufactured to be stronger than plain woven wire by crimping the wire in place. It is a strong attractive designer pattern that suits modified vehicle grilles. The crimped mesh can be used for producing automobile headlight stone guards, designed for VW Early Beetle & Split screen buses up to 1967, Porsche 356.
