Description
Knitted mesh is usually specified by the number of stitches per cm. The range of meshes is considerable but for practical purposes these are from 0.5 stitches per cm to 6 stitches per cm.
Knitted mesh can be grouped into five broad categories: fine, medium-fine, standard, coarse and super-coarse, but these divisions can cover a wide range of products.
Using various filament diameters and mesh sizes, along with different crimping, calendaring, folding, layering and rolling processes, the product scope is almost unlimited.
Types Of Knitted MeshAny material that can be drawn or spun into filament form can be used to produce a knitted mesh structure for use in the manufacture of our products including:
