Weaving was the initial technology used for the manufacturing of catalyst gauze products. With this method, utilising modified textile weaving machines, a very fine and porous two- dimensional catalytic structure can be achieved. The weaving process is time consuming and requires a significant amount of manpower, which makes this method of production expensive. Although woven gauzes were used exclusively up until the late 1980’s, they have almost completely been replaced today by knitted products.
Weaved gauzes for the production of electrodes, filters and catalysts are also available in smaller quantities (see table below):
