Chlor-alkali industry nickel mesh recycling prices are higher than ordinary nickel mesh, with high-value recyclables primarily being plain weave and twill weave nickel mesh.
Plain weave nickel mesh is used for electrolyzer cathode screens and alkaline solution coarse filtration due to its identical warp/weft wire density. Its uniform structure ensures better filtration precision. Twill weave nickel mesh is commonly applied in high-pressure electrolyzers and corrosive medium separation within the chlor-alkali industry, mainly because its strength and stability exceed plain weave, making it more suitable for high-pressure environments.
Parameter Category | Specifications | Industrial Significance |
