This fabric features an unusual combination of high strength with a large percentage of open area. It is woven in a basket weave from plasticized vinyl coated polyester yarn containing approximately 66% vinyl compound and 34% polyester. The light bonding of the coated yarns at the crossover points contributes to high tear resistance compared with dip-coated mesh.
Suitable for use where a durable, weather-resistant open weave fabric is required.
