Abstract
Screen material with improved visibility for use as an insect screen. The screen material is formed of a web of polymer coated threads having a denier of 190 to 360, wherein the polymer coated threads comprise 20-30 wt. % polyester thread core and 70-80 wt. % PVC coating.
Claims18
A screen material comprising:
- a web of intersecting threads forming substantially rectangular openings and having a mesh count of 17×14,
- wherein the threads have a denier of 190 to 250 and comprise 25 wt. % of a polyester thread core and 75 wt. % of a PVC coating over the polyester thread core, based on the total weight of the thread,
- wherein the screen material comprises an areal density of less than 4.5 oz/yard2, a % open area of at least 50%, and a light transmission of at least 50%, and
- wherein the screen material has an abrasion resistance of greater than 500, as measured by ASTM D3884-09-2013, and a tensile strength for each of warp and weft of greater than 70 lbf, as measured by ASTM D5035-11.
