Copper Mesh: Properties, Types, and Industrial Applications

copper mesh for EMI shielding

Copper mesh is a versatile woven material made from pure copper wire. With excellent electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and electromagnetic shielding capability, copper mesh is widely used in electronics, filtration, aerospace, laboratory equipment, and architectural applications.

This article provides a complete overview of copper mesh, its advantages, main specifications, and common industrial uses.


1. Key Properties of Copper Mesh

1.1 Excellent Conductivity

Copper has one of the highest electrical and thermal conductivities among all metals, making copper mesh ideal for grounding, EMI shielding, and RFI protection.

1.2 High Corrosion Resistance

Copper develops a natural oxide layer that protects it from corrosion, even in humid or outdoor environments.

1.3 Soft and Easy to Form

The mesh can be cut, shaped, and formed easily, suitable for DIY or industrial custom applications.

1.4 Safe and Environmentally Friendly

Copper is non-toxic and recyclable, making it suitable for household and food-related use.


2. Common Types of Copper Mesh

• Pure Copper Woven Mesh

Standard plain-woven mesh used for shielding, filtration, and insect screens.

• Red Copper Mesh(99.9% Cu)

High-purity copper with excellent conductivity.

• Brass Mesh(Copper + Zinc Alloy)

Higher strength, widely used in industrial filtration and decoration.
