Technical Specifications and Performance Parameters

Our Fiberglass insect screen / Mosquito window mesh is meticulously engineered from PVC-coated fiberglass yarn, a composite material renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, dimensional stability, and resistance to environmental degradation. The PVC coating acts as a protective barrier, enhancing UV stability, improving tensile strength, and providing an inert surface that resists chemical attack and microbial growth.

Key technical specifications include various mesh counts, typically ranging from 18x16 to 20x20 per inch, with precise yarn diameters (e.g., 0.28mm to 0.33mm) to optimize open area percentages (generally 60-70%). This balance ensures effective insect exclusion while maximizing airflow and maintaining clear visibility. Products adhere to strict quality controls, with testing conducted in accordance with international standards such as ASTM D3656 for tensile and bursting strength, and ISO 9001:2015 for manufacturing processes. Our screens are designed to offer a service life typically exceeding 10-15 years under normal operational conditions, significantly reducing replacement cycles and maintenance costs for our B2B clients.

Precision Manufacturing Process Flow

The production of our Fiberglass insect screen / Mosquito window mesh follows a meticulously controlled, multi-stage manufacturing process designed to ensure product consistency, superior quality, and adherence to performance specifications. Our process is optimized for efficiency and precision, from raw material sourcing to final packaging.

Detailed Process Steps:

1. Fiberglass Yarn Preparation: We begin with high-quality E-glass fiberglass filaments, chosen for their inherent strength and chemical resistance. These filaments are twisted into yarns of specified denier and strength, ensuring uniformity critical for subsequent weaving.
2. PVC Coating Application: The prepared fiberglass yarns undergo a sophisticated PVC coating process. This involves drawing the yarn through a specialized liquid PVC bath, followed by precise heat curing. This step imbues the yarn with critical properties: enhanced UV resistance, improved flexibility, fire retardancy, and a smooth, consistent surface finish. The coating thickness is rigorously controlled to maintain optimal mesh integrity and open area.
3. Precision Weaving: The coated yarns are then fed into advanced weaving looms. Utilizing a plain weave pattern, warp and weft yarns are interlocked to form a stable, uniform mesh structure. The looms are equipped with high-precision controls to maintain consistent mesh count and weave tension across the entire width of the fabric, preventing distortions and ensuring dimensional stability. This is a critical departure from methods like casting or forging, as weaving is specific to textile-like materials.
4. Heat Setting and Curing: After weaving, the mesh undergoes a final heat setting process. This step stabilizes the PVC coating, locks the mesh structure, removes any residual stresses from weaving, and ensures the material achieves its ultimate dimensional stability and performance characteristics. This stage is crucial for preventing unraveling and enhancing durability.
5. Quality Control and Inspection: Every roll of finished mesh undergoes comprehensive quality inspection. This includes automated optical scanning for weave defects, manual checks for material consistency, and laboratory testing for parameters such as tensile strength, bursting strength, mesh count accuracy, and UV resistance, all in accordance with ISO and ASTM standards.
6. Slitting, Rolling, and Packaging: Approved mesh rolls are precisely slit to customer-specified widths and then tightly rolled onto durable cores. Each roll is carefully packaged to protect it during transit and storage, ensuring it arrives in pristine condition, ready for installation.

Technical Advantages and Performance Benchmarks

The inherent properties of fiberglass, combined with our advanced PVC coating and weaving processes, endow our Fiberglass insect screen / Mosquito window mesh with a suite of technical advantages that are critical for demanding industrial and commercial applications.

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: Unlike metal screens, fiberglass is non-corrosive and immune to rust, oxidation, and galvanic corrosion. This makes it ideal for coastal environments, chemical processing plants, and areas with high humidity or exposure to aggressive industrial atmospheres.
• Exceptional UV Stability and Weather Resistance: The PVC coating provides robust protection against prolonged exposure to ultraviolet radiation, preventing material degradation, fading, and brittleness. This ensures long-term performance in outdoor applications and extreme weather conditions.
• High Tensile Strength and Dimensional Stability: The woven fiberglass structure provides remarkable tear and burst strength, resisting damage from impacts, tension, and environmental stresses. Its dimensional stability prevents sagging or stretching over time, maintaining consistent mesh integrity.
• Optimized Airflow and Visibility: Engineered with a precise open area, the mesh maximizes air circulation while offering excellent outward visibility, crucial for ventilation systems and observation points in industrial facilities.
• Fire Retardancy: The PVC coating imparts self-extinguishing properties, significantly enhancing safety in commercial and industrial settings where fire hazards are a concern.
• Energy Saving: By effectively blocking insects and airborne debris while maintaining excellent airflow, our screens can contribute to energy efficiency by supporting natural ventilation and reducing reliance on HVAC systems for air quality maintenance, particularly in large industrial spaces.

Application Scenarios Across Target Industries

The robust and versatile nature of Fiberglass insect screen / Mosquito window mesh makes it indispensable across a range of demanding industrial and commercial sectors. Its unique combination of properties addresses specific challenges faced by these industries.

• Petrochemical Industry: In chemical plants and refineries, our screens are used in ventilation systems for control rooms, equipment enclosures, and storage areas. Their non-corrosive properties are critical in environments with exposure to aggressive chemicals and fumes. The fine mesh prevents insect ingress, which can interfere with sensitive instrumentation or compromise sterile environments, while promoting vital air exchange.
• Metallurgy and Heavy Manufacturing: Foundries and fabrication plants require effective barriers against airborne dust, debris, and insects, which can impact machinery operation and product quality. Fiberglass mesh offers superior resistance to heat and sparks compared to standard plastic, and its durability withstands harsh industrial conditions, protecting personnel and precision equipment.
• Water Supply & Drainage Systems: While not a primary filter media, our screens are invaluable as protective covers for intake and outflow vents, overflow outlets, and inspection ports in water treatment facilities, pump stations, and drainage networks. They prevent larger debris, insects, and small animals from entering and potentially clogging or damaging sensitive infrastructure, thereby reducing maintenance and operational downtime.
• Commercial Buildings and Warehouses: Large commercial facilities, distribution centers, and food processing plants benefit from fiberglass screens for comprehensive pest control. The non-toxic, easy-to-clean material helps maintain hygiene standards, prevent product contamination, and improve employee comfort and productivity.
