Designed for extreme chemical and thermal environments, Goodfellow's Platinum Plain Weave Gauze delivers unmatched catalytic performance, structural integrity, and longevity. Ideal for nitric acid production, petrochemical reforming, glass manufacturing, and biomedical applications, it is manufactured from 99.9% pure platinum with precision-woven mesh structures in thicknesses from 0.08 mm to 0.4 mm. Available in widths and lengths from 10 mm to 200 mm, and in multiple weave types and open areas, our gauze is tailored for optimal gas flow, surface area, and mechanical strength. Platinum’s high melting point and resistance to oxidation and corrosion ensure reliable operation in aggressive environments. Its high density and ductility allow for stable mesh structures that maintain performance under thermal cycling and mechanical stress. With superior electrical and thermal conductivity, platinum gauze excels in electrodes, thermocouples, and fuel cells. Its biocompatibility and chemical inertness further support its use in implantable medical devices and scientific instrumentation. These properties make our platinum gauze the material of choice for high-efficiency catalysis, precision thermal systems, and demanding industrial applications.

Key Features

Platinum plain weave gauze combines high catalytic efficiency, thermal resilience, corrosion resistance, and mechanical integrity, making it indispensable in extreme chemical and high-temperature environments:


Exceptional Catalytic Activity

Platinum gauze is critical in ammonia oxidation for nitric acid production and in hydrogen cyanide and other chemical processes. Its high surface area and compatibility with rhodium alloying enhance reaction efficiency, selectivity, and long-term performance under severe thermal and chemical loads.


High Melting Point (1,768 °C)

With a melting point of 1,768 °C, platinum maintains structural stability in catalytic reactors, petrochemical reformers, and glass manufacturing systems. It resists sintering and grain growth during prolonged thermal cycling.


Outstanding Corrosion and Oxidation Resistance

Platinum withstands oxidizing gases, acidic atmospheres, and high-temperature air, ensuring long service life and minimal degradation in aggressive industrial environments.


High Density (21.45 g/cm³)

Its density and mechanical strength support stable mesh geometries that retain catalytic efficiency and dimensional integrity under thermal and mechanical stress.


Superior Electrical and Thermal Conductivity

Platinum’s conductivity enables reliable use in high-temperature electrodes, thermocouples, and fuel cells. Gauze structures maintain consistent electrical and thermal performance even in corrosive conditions.


Ductility and Fabrication Versatility

Platinum can be drawn into fine wires and precision-woven into gauze, enabling customized mesh geometries that optimize gas flow, surface area, and catalytic efficiency.


Advanced Gauze Engineering

Modern multi-layered, knitted, or rhodium-alloyed platinum gauze designs are engineered to reduce platinum loss, enhance ammonia conversion efficiency, and minimize N₂O emissions, improving both productivity and environmental compliance.

Industrial Applications

High-purity platinum plain weave gauze is a vital material in high-performance industrial systems due to its catalytic efficiency, thermal stability, corrosion resistance, and mechanical durability:

✦ Chemical Processing & Catalysis
Extensively used in nitric acid production via ammonia oxidation, enabling high-efficiency catalytic reactions at extreme temperatures. Its resistance to chemical degradation supports large-scale fertilizer and explosives manufacturing.
✦ Petroleum Refining
Acts as a catalyst in reforming and isomerization processes that upgrade fuels into higher-value gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel while supporting compliance with environmental standards.
✦ Glass Manufacturing
Utilized in bushings and molten glass handling components, where platinum’s heat resistance and structural stability ensure precision and product consistency.
✦ Medical & Biomedical Devices
Applied in implantable devices such as stents, pacemakers, and catheters due to its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, as well as in biosensors and targeted therapeutic systems.
✦ Fuel Cells & Clean Energy Systems
Functions as a catalyst in hydrogen fuel cells and electrochemical systems, supporting efficient energy conversion and sustainable power technologies.
✦ Scientific Instrumentation & Sensors
Used in thermocouples, electrodes, and precision sensing systems where electrical conductivity, oxidation resistance, and dimensional stability are critical.
