State-of-the-art manufacturing techniques for low-cost production
Wide range of materials available to suit temperature requirements exceeding 1000°C
Seals available to suit any size or shape of monolith brick
Round and oval cross-sections available
Lips can be added for additional protection of monolith brick edges
Man-made materials, such as silica yarns, can be used in conjunction with a metal filament to improve performance
Rapid, cost-effective prototypes can be produced from low-cost die sets to reduce product development time
Ceramic fibre materials can also be covered by mesh to give added protection against exhaust gas bypass
Wire mesh catalytic converter seals
KnitMesh Technologies wire mesh catalytic converter seals are used to protect the delicate honeycomb ceramic brick within a catalytic converter from shock and vibration damage.
Protects against gas erosion
Wire mesh catalytic converter seals are manufactured using mesh that is usually compressed in a die to make an even-density, all-metal one-piece end seal ring. They are designed to protect delicate ceramic bricks and intumescent mats from gas erosion and to prevent exhaust gas bypass between the brick and the inner catalytic converter shell. They are also used extensively within diesel particulate filter assemblies.
Twin-seal assemblies
Assemblies with two seals that fit around either end of the monolith brick, that are joined by connecting mesh, can also be produced. These seals are particularly useful where the converter can design does not have any other way of keeping seals in position.
