The chain-link fence has a history of almost 200 years. The vinyl fence came into use since the 1970s. It takes decades to make both a popular fence product. Now it is the turn for our PET Net. This material is a hexagonal semi-solid mesh woven from a single polyester wire. The polyester wire is called plastic steel wire in China, as it can perform almost the same as a steel wire of the same gauge in agriculture use. Properties of the monofilament make the PET mesh very unique and versatile in both land and water, indoor and outdoor applications.
Since it’s a relatively new fencing and netting product, most people don’t know yet how this innovative mesh will change their work, life, and environment. This article tries to brief through 10 important facts about this promising fencing material.
1. PET Net/Mesh is Super Resistant to Corrosion. Corrosion resistance is a very important factor for both land and underwater applications. PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) is in nature resistant to most chemicals, and there is no need for any anti-corrosive treatment. PET monofilament has an obvious advantage over steel wire in this regard. To prevent corrosion, the traditional steel wire either has galvanized coating or PVC coating, however, both are only temporarily corrosion resistant. A wide variety of plastic coating or galvanized coating for wires has been utilized but none of these have proven completely satisfactory.
2. PET Net/Mesh is designed to withstand UV rays. According to actual-use records in southern Europe, the monofilament remains its shape and color and 97% of its strength after 2.5 years of outdoor using in harsh climates; an actual-use record in Japan shows that fish farming net made of PET monofilament retains in good condition underwater over 30 years. 3. PET wire is Very Strong for its Light Weight.
3.0mm monofilament has a strength of 3700N/377KGS while it only weights 1/5.5 of the 3.0mm steel wire. It remains a high tensile strength for decades below and above water.
4. It’s very easy to clean PET Net/Mesh. PET mesh fence is very easy to clean. For most cases, warm water, and some dish soap or fence cleaner is enough to get a dirty PET mesh fence looking new again. For tougher stains, adding some mineral spirits is more than enough.
5. There are Two Types of PET Mesh Fence. The two types of polyester fences are virgin PET and recycled PET. Virgin PET is the most common type as it is the most widely developed and used. It is made from polyethylene Terephthalate and is extruded from virgin resin. Recycled PET is made from recycled plastics and is usually of a lower quality than virgin PET.
6. PET Net/Mesh is Non-Toxic. Unlike many plastic materials, PET mesh is not treated with hazardous chemicals. As PET is recyclable, it is spared from being treated with such chemicals. What’s more, since PET wire is made from natural materials, harsh chemicals are not needed for protection or other reasons.
7. There are several companies holding utility patents in their own countries respectively. Such as in Australia, Amacron Fencing solution holds the patent for the mesh fence section. It sells under the brand name Protecta mesh.
8. PET wire was used in agriculture three decades ago. The best brand known in China is Netec, Toray in Japan, Gruppo in Italy and Delama in France. They replace steel wire to support grapes in the vineyard. This proves that our Made-in-China PET wire has been used in the land application for at least 10 years
9. Up to now, PET Net has a history of 31years in the offshore cage farming industry. It makes its first debut in Japan back to the 1980s in the fish farming industry. Then it was introduced on a small scale to North America in the 2000s. AKAVA first introduced this PET Net to countries outside of Japan. 10. Maccaferri reached an agreement with the Japanese company and bought the turnkey in 2008.
After 3 years of development and experiments and market research, they launched intensive promotion in # aquaculture cage farming and increase marketing programs year by year. To be brief, in seawater applications, PET net combines the advantages of less bio-fouling of copper mesh and lightweight of traditional fiber fish-farming nets; For land applications, PET mesh is not only corrosion-free like vinyl fencing but also cost-effective like chain link fence. The plastic expert and inventor Mr. Sobey once described this new PET mesh as a “revolution”-an innovative fence alternative. The PET netting is very versatile and can be found in numerous fields, including but not limited to # aquaculture cage farming, coastal safety, perimeter fencing, debris barrier, shark barrier, sports ground fencing, farm fencing, temporary fencing, commercial fencing, and residential fencing etc.
