Aquamesh®
Aquamesh® is the only wire mesh fabric in the world specifically engineered for ocean use and designed to withstand the harshest subsea conditions. Aquamesh® is always Made in America and manufactured from premium steel and hot-dip galvanized after welding with a thick layer of zinc that completely surrounds the weld to prevent the steel from corroding. The wire is then enclosed in Riverdale’s proprietary marine grade PVC coating and fuse-bonded to the wire, forming a protective layer that will not peel or strip in salt water. When used for aquaculture applications, Aquamesh® resists algae and fouling.
Aquamesh® Advantages:
