The X-TEND® DUPLEX Stainless Steel Cable Mesh, made from AISI 318LN duplex stainless steel, has been developed for use in corrosive environments. The material offers increased resistance to corrosive influences without compromising its mechanical properties. This makes the duplex stainless steel cable mesh particularly suitable for long-lasting and reliable use in corrosive environments.

Typical applications include marine and coastal environments, offshore and port infrastructure, swimming pool environments with chloride-laden air, industrial environments with high chemical exposure, and applications subject to fluctuating humidity and salt levels.

Thanks to the use of AISI 318LN duplex stainless steel, X-TEND® DUPLEX offers the same high mechanical strength as the tried-and-tested X-TEND® Stainless Steel Cable Mesh, whilst also delivering improved corrosion resistance. The material exhibits increased resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. Furthermore, duplex stainless steel offers good resistance to stress corrosion, thus ensuring long-term reliable performance.

In applications where there is a risk of increased corrosion, X-TEND® Stainless Steel Cable Mesh made from AISI 318LN duplex stainless steel are currently the best option. No higher-grade material is currently available anywhere in the world.

The X-TEND® DUPLEX Stainless Steel Cable Mesh offers impressive load-bearing capacity, high transparency and durability. Its innovative design allows for two- and three-dimensional applications whilst keeping the weight to a minimum.

The X-TEND® DUPLEX Stainless Steel Cable Mesh allows for the flexible design of spaces and surfaces. Thanks to the ingenious combination of stainless steel cables and clamps, X-TEND® DUPLEX extends its applications from two-dimensional surfaces into the three-dimensional space. This structure adapts to even the most unusual architectural designs whilst retaining its structural integrity.

Manufactured from high-quality duplex stainless steel and produced via a sustainable supply chain in Europe, X-TEND® DUPLEX stands for quality, resource conservation and durability. In accordance with European Technical Assessment ETA-22/0257, the X-TEND® DUPLEX Stainless Steel Cable Mesh is also subject to continuous monitoring as part of the company’s in-house quality control procedures. In doing so, the quality requirements defined in the ETA and the specified forces are equally met.
Nevertheless, when used as a load-bearing element in aggressive environments, X-TEND® DUPLEX must be assessed on a project-specific basis.

X-TEND® DUPLEX is tailor-made to suit your project. Thanks to its flexible mesh sizes, geometries and colours, it adapts perfectly to any architectural challenge.

After decades of use, the cable mesh can be completely recycled and manufactured into new stainless steel products.
