Chemical Etched Smoke Detector Mesh Micro-Hole Stainless Steel Insect Screen for Fire Alarm Sensor Protection
Chemical Etched Smoke Detector Mesh Micro-Hole Stainless Steel Insect Screen for Fire Alarm Sensor Protection
Product Overview
Xinhaisen’s precision-etched smoke detector mesh is designed to allow optimal smoke entry while blocking insects, dust, and electromagnetic interference. Manufactured using high-accuracy photochemical etching, our meshes ensure consistent hole size, burr-free edges, and excellent flatness for reliable smoke detector performance.
Etching Process Used
-
Material cleaning – Remove oil and contaminants from metal sheets.
-
Lamination & exposure – Apply photoresist and transfer the mesh pattern via high-precision film.
-
Development – Remove unexposed photoresist to reveal the etching area.
-
Spray etching – Use acid etchant to dissolve unprotected metal, forming micro-holes.
-
Stripping – Remove remaining photoresist.
-
Inspection & packaging – 100% optical inspection before shipment.

FAQ
- Q1: What is the smallest hole size you can etch for smoke detector mesh?
A: We can etch holes as small as 0.03mm in materials 0.02mm–1.5mm thick. - Q2: Can you produce non-circular hole patterns?
A: Yes. Square, slot, and custom-shaped holes are available. - Q3: Is the mesh flat after etching?
A: Yes. Chemical etching produces no burrs or warping, maintaining excellent flatness. - Q4: Do you offer sample prototyping?
A: Absolutely. We provide low-volume prototypes for testing before mass production. - Q5: What is your typical lead time?
A: 5–7 working days for prototypes, 7–15 days for mass production. - Q6: Which certifications do you have?
A: We comply with ISO9001:2015 quality management standards.
