Scrim Material

[Dave1w]

Ok, so we are 25 years into commercially available rebreathers, but as of now, I still can't do a quick google and get a definitive answer to - what material do manufacturers use for their scrims in the scrubber, so I can just go to a supplier and buy a roll or whatever.
We have, scotch pads (ok for a while) cut down Inspo scrims, vacuum cleaner bags etc. suggested but has anyone ever got a clear - buy a roll of this XYZ sheet, manufactured by ABC ltd. and is the exact material you need.

Is this some mystery trade secret or what?

Seems it is stainless steel... Don't know the exact grade.

Get a sample from Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Screens & Products - TWP Inc.. I am sure there are more suppliers.

It’s generally a fabric. He’s looking for the source material of these: Absorbent Dust Filter for SPIRIT Series or Filter scrim kit (For axial scrubber) set of 2 – JJ-CCR VERSATILE REBREATHER

I have not used scrims in 15 years of ccr diving. I don't see a need for them. Molecular 797 sorb is just not dusty like some old brands of 4-8 sorb were.

On the JJ the sorb would spill out both ends of the canister without scrims.

Why doesn't it have a stainless steel mesh end pieces?
