Etched stainless steel filters can do more
Etched stainless steel filters provide much higher flow rates than wire mesh or woven filters, while still trapping the same particulate sizes.
Etched stainless steel filters can withstand much higher pressures than wire mesh or woven filters.
Etched stainless steel filters have no residual burrs or contamination.
Stainless Steel: fine detailed structures
Extremely fine, detailed structures can be produced by etching stainless steel.
Precision etching of stainless steel can produce much sharper edges than conventional mechanical grinding, with no burrs.
