Fine MicroEtch stainless steel screens are manufactured using photoetching technology. Photoetching enables designers to specify a straight hole or a tapered hole, which facilitates liquid filtration and back flow cleaning. Hole sizes range from 0.003 in. and up.

Unlike stamping, photoetching yields a burr-free product, resulting in cleaner, more efficient screens with greater material integrity. They feature higher tolerance hole sizes and greater dimensional stability than woven wire mesh.
