Copper Nickel Cu90/Ni10 Wire Mesh

The Copper Nickel Cu90Ni10 wire mesh is comprised of superlative resistance to corrosion and sea water due to which it is extensively employed in the development of underwater pens and conceals. It resists the fouling of fish cages thereby widely used in the fish farming.
