Conwed launches Multinet multilayer reinforcement netting
July 17, 2015 - United States Of America
Conwed, the leading plastic netting manufacturer in the world, launched Multinet, new multilayer reinforcement netting, to help OEMs, manufacturers and converters create exceptionally strong and lightweight composites for industrial and consumer applications.
Multinet is a netting configuration formed by multiple layers of oriented netting laying one on top of another creating a strong but lightweight mesh compatible with different substrates. It is an ideal alternative to other reinforcement materials such as cross laminated fabrics, cross laid scrims, and knitted scrims. From house wraps, rain screens, roof and floor underlayments to furniture fabrics, carpet pads, wipes, cleaning, filtration and other disposable products, Multinet offers excellent tensile strength properties without significantly impacting the overall weight of the composite, according to a Conwed press release.
Ivan Soltero, strategic marketing manager at Conwed said, “Our clients demanded an alternative to cross laminated fabrics and cross laid scrims that would allow them to increase the tensile strength of their composites without sacrificing weight and coverage targets. This is truly a new product segment for our entire business.”
The difference between multilayer reinforcement netting and other standard extruded or oriented designs is that Multinet overlaps two or more oriented netting layers that can be designed differently to provide the desired strength and coverage area and secure optimal bonding with other substrates. It offers countless design combinations, superior breathability performance and can be bonded and laminated through different production processes.
Soltero added, “Manufacturers can create composites through extrusion coating, extrusion lamination, thermal lamination, ultrasonic welding, wet and dry adhesive lamination and diverse nonwoven processes. We can make countless design combinations to match specific performance requirements.”
An alternative to cross laminated fabrics and cross laid scrims used widely to reinforce substrates in industrial applications, Multinet offers customization of each netting layer in the final multilayer configuration. (GK)
