Knitted wire mesh is also ideal for electromagnetic shielding. The knitted wire mesh is applied to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings and to cables to isolate wires from the environment. The electromagnetic shielding process aims to lower the electromagnetic field by barricading it with conductive or magnetic material.
Knitted wire mesh can be used as a method to protect against vandalism. Due to knitted wire mesh’s flexibility and durability, the mesh can provide a structure that is slash-resistant to protect bus seats from being vandalized; it prevents extensive damage by inhibiting the blade from slicing through the material.
Knitted wire mesh can be used as knitted cleaning balls; they are more commonly known as cleaning scourers. Knitted cleaning balls are commonly used to clean kitchenware, soldering irons and mechanical parts in industrial fields.
Knitted wire mesh can also be combined with synthetics to produce body armour. The ability of knitted wire mesh to prevent material slicing is critical in anti-slash jackets used by security enforcers.
Knitted wire mesh can be used to prevent theft from canvas-covered trucks. When knitted wire mesh is placed beneath the canvas, it prevents canvas slashing by stopping the blade from slicing through the material.
