Bird Net 2000 Material Specs
The Material: Polyethylene is chemically inert, rot­proof and highly resistant to a wide
range of chemicals and environmental conditions. Insoluble in most common
organic solvents at room temperature. Outstanding electrical insulator,
especially to high frequency currents.
The Twine: The 12/6 netting comprises 6 monofilaments, each 12/1000” thick with U.V.
stabilizers added. These are twisted together to produce a strong twine with a
breaking strain in excess of 20 Kg, burst strength of 450KPa. Life
expectancy in normal circumstances is more than ten years, provided
installation is correct and there is no physical damage. Bird Net 2000’s
U.V.­treatment and color are embedded in the composition, making the net
more resistant to the effects of the sun.
Temperature
Extremes:
Although not flame proof, the twine will withstand temperatures up to 270° F
before melting. It is non­conductive and is stable in sub zero temperatures.
Twine will retain its flexibility at very low temperatures and does not become
rigid under freezing conditions.
Flammability: Burns with difficulty and may be heated for short periods up to 600° F.
Burns slowly in air; fine filaments tend to melt and drop away before
propagating a flame.
The Netting: Single knot sheet netting in diamond mesh and full machine widths is formed
on special net making machines and steam stretched afterwards to set the
knots with an even finish to the rows. A selection of different mesh sizes is
available.
Colors: Black or Stone
