4-5 T H E M O S T P R E C I O U S M A T E R I A L I N T H E W O R L D - I D E A S. INNOVATION Whoever carries out research at the limits of current knowledge inevitably breaks new ground. Nonetheless, it is our spirit of discovery which drives us to seek ever better materials, still finer structures. In short to find the optimal solution. Even existing product lines are not spared. It is only in this way that the advantages of expanded metals can be fully exploited. They are light, flexible, yet still extremely durable. Beyond this, their employment also offers an economic advantage since the price of conventional mesh is, as a rule, higher than that of expanded metal products. We process all ductile metals and plastics in thicknesses ranging from 0.03 mm to 3.0 mm, and with a maximum width up to 1.250 mm.
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING Ongoing cooperation with wellknown research institutes, numerous pioneering achievements and the ambition to continuously develop have all combined to make Benmetal the market leader in the field of particularly fine expanded metal. In the area of electrical engineering, a wide variety of batteries, accumulators and fuel cells already profit from our ultrathin, conductive and corrosionresistant products. Benmetal is one of the world s few certified manufacturers of special batteries used in marine engineering applications.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION CARBON FILTERS Environmental protection and ecological requirements have made high-quality and efficient filters an essential technology. Particularly carbon filters for diesel engines are becoming increasingly important. Acting as a substrate, heatresistant Benmetal expanded metals form an essential component of these fine particulate filters.

Their structure ensures permeability for air and liquids, while securely preventing any breakthrough by the harmful materials being retained.
AUTOMOTIVE PROTECTIVE MESHWORK For many years, Benmetal has been a sought-after partner in the automobile industry. In the automotive area, our expanded metals are most frequently encountered in the form of fine-meshed structures, for example, as speaker covers and radiator grilles.
