Material: Knitted Polyethylene 12/6

Mesh Size: 50mm

Weight: 24 GSM

Tensile Strength: 20 KG per mesh

Expected Lifespan: 10 Years under normal use.

Elongation:

• Commercial polyethylene fibers have an elongation at break in the range of 20-30%.

Moisture Effects:

• Polyethylene is a paraffinic hydrocarbon and does not absorb water.
• Moisture does not affect the tensile strength of the netting or other mechanical properties.

Low Temperature Effect:

• Polyethylene retains its flexibility at low temperatures.

Softening Point:

• The softening point of polyethylene fibers ranges from 130-138 °C and the fibers melt between 150 – 160 °C.
• Softening and melting points are determined by the nature of the polymer and the crystallization process that has been influenced during fiber processing.

Sunlight Effect:

• Polyethylene is attacked by atmospheric oxygen and the reaction is accelerated by sunlight.
• Polyethylene fibers will deteriorate from exposure to light, which can be minimized by adding inhibitors to the product.

Chemical Resistance:

• Acids – excellent
• Alkalies – excellent
• Polypropylene is inert to a wide range of chemicals.
• Its high crystallinity makes it more resistant to chemicals that degrade olefin fibers.
