MESH
Protective fabric for applications in motor racing sport and in aerospace must above all be light-weight, flexible and temperature-resistant. In motor racing sport our ultra-light-weight mesh is used for cooling air inlets. Our product provides significantly more effective protection than metal mesh. Special coatings on the mesh material provide resistance to UV radiation, with low flammability.
Due to its outstanding properties, our meshes are used in a very wide range of applications and offers critical advantages:
- lighter in weight and more effective than titanium mesh and metal meshes in general
- extreme cutting resistance under load
- excellent energy absorption for a wide range of fragments
- good creep behaviour under load, holds its shape
- low flammability
- corrosion-free
- good flexibility
- available in a wide range of mesh sizes
