 PolyCB2™
is the result of NASA research grants that
have produced
polycarbonate 100 times stronger than steel. Polycarbonate was first known to
the public in products such as bullet-proof glass and shatter proof plastics. As
the need for greater strength and flexibility increased, polycarbonate
substrates have become increasingly stronger and versatile. |
| The ultra fine fibers that make up the
polymer core of PolyCB2™
are comprised of molecular chains intertwined in a spaghetti like fashion. These
chains react very much like woven nylon rope. The greater the pull, the tighter
the weave becomes. |
| When woven into a mesh, this unique molecular structure produces
extreme ball burst and tensile strength. If a force with velocity is applied to
it, the impact is gently absorbed by redistribution to the larger surrounding area. This
flexibility and return-to-prior-state provides a nearly impenetrable surface. |
| By coating the extruded strands of fibers with a UV protection,
the entire screen mesh is protected from molecular break-down or design changes caused by the
high frequency ultra-violet sun rays. This protection inhibits aging and color fading. Biocides
also incorporated in the coating provide immunity from mold and mildew. |
| The result is a screen mesh that is stronger, more durable and
impervious to the elements. PolyCB2™
Screen Mesh will not stretch out of shape after years of
wear and will not become brittle. It potentially has an unlimited lifespan. |
| Special
extrusion techniques and added chemical compounds to the protective coating permit PolyCB2™
HD-60 and MX-90 Solar Screen mesh to filter out more UV rays without reducing air flow
or visibility. The combination of high strength and advanced technology
provides a new generation of lightweight, colorful, durable
and flexible solar shade screen mesh for a multitude of applications. |
