Material Composition and Structural Properties

Deco mesh is manufactured from 100% polypropylene with a denier range of 150-300, providing tensile strength between 45-65 MPa and elongation at break of 15-25%. The mesh structure features hexagonal or square apertures sized from 3mm to 12mm, directly influencing airflow resistance and light transmission. Thickness varies from 0.18mm to 0.35mm, affecting both flexibility and tear resistance. These parameters are critical for applications requiring specific mechanical performance, such as horticultural shading or industrial filtration.

Manufacturing Process and Quality Control

Production involves extrusion of polypropylene granules through precision dies, followed by biaxial stretching to orient polymer chains and enhance mechanical properties. The process includes inline monitoring of thickness uniformity via laser gauges and aperture consistency using machine vision systems. Each batch undergoes grab tensile testing per ASTM D5035 and burst strength evaluation via Mullen tester. Roll width tolerance is maintained within ±2%, and length accuracy within ±1.5% to ensure predictable material usage in downstream applications.

Typical Applications and Functional Suitability

In horticulture, deco mesh with 6mm apertures and 0.25mm thickness provides 30-40% shade reduction while maintaining adequate rain penetration, reducing evaporation rates by up to 25% in arid climates. For industrial debris containment, 12mm aperture mesh with 0.3mm thickness offers sufficient open area for wind passage while capturing particles larger than 10mm. In packaging, lower denier variants (150D) are used as protective interleaving due to their conformability and low abrasion. Selection depends on matching aperture size, thickness, and UV stabilization level to the specific environmental and mechanical demands.

Customization Options and Technical Specifications

Customization includes width (from 0.5m to 5m), length per roll (typically 50m to 200m), aperture geometry (square, hexagonal, or diamond), and color (UV-stabilized pigments for black, white, green, or custom shades). Additives such as HALS (hindered amine light stabilizers) can be incorporated at 0.5-2% concentration to extend outdoor lifespan to 3-5 years under direct sunlight. Roll core diameter is standardized at 76mm, but alternative cores (50mm or 100mm) are available for specific dispensing equipment. All specifications are confirmed during pre-production sampling.

Comparison of Standard Variants

Packaging, Handling, and Logistics

Deco mesh rolls are wound with consistent tension to prevent telescoping or deformation, then wrapped in polyethylene film and secured with polypropylene strapping. Standard packaging includes a label indicating material type, dimensions, batch number, and UV stabilization level. Rolls are palletized with corner protectors and stretch film to withstand forklift handling and transit vibration. For export, moisture barrier bags and desiccant packs are available upon request to prevent degradation during long-term storage or humid conditions. Each pallet includes a packing slip and material safety data sheet (MSDS) where applicable.

Ordering Information and Technical Support

Wholesale orders require specification of width, length, aperture size, denier, color, and UV stabilization level. Minimum order quantities typically start at 500kg per variant, with pricing structured per kilogram based on material consumption and customization complexity. Lead times range from 10-25 working days depending on order volume and additive requirements. Technical documentation, including test reports and material certificates, is provided upon shipment. For application-specific guidance, consult the supplier with details on environmental exposure, mechanical load, and expected service life.
