    The pillar of Gang Hang warp knitting fabrics product line is polyester mesh. This versatile material is used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, ranging from the aerospace and automotive sectors to the marine and medical sectors as well as the indoor and outdoor recreational trade.

An Overview of Polyester Mesh Fabric

    The term “knit mesh fabric” is a general expression used to describe material that is constructed with an open hole structure through the process of knitting. The design of a specific knit mesh material can vary from others in regard to yarn, material weight, aperture opening, width, color, and finish. Polyester yarn is one of the most commonly used fibers in the manufacture of knit mesh fabric. Polyester consists of flexible, synthetic polymer fibers. The resulting fibers are stretched and oriented together to form a strong yarn that naturally repels water, resists staining, ultraviolet degradation, and holds up to frequent use.

Properties and Advantages of Polyester Mesh Fabric

    Compared to other mesh materials, polyester fabric exhibits a number of advantageous properties that make it suitable for use in a variety of industrial, commercial, and recreational applications, such as:

1.Ease of use and accessibility. Polyester is a common fiber available at most textile manufacturing facilities. When treated with a light resin, the mesh material is easy to install and clean, thus reducing excess time and labor required for its integration and maintenance.

2.Dimensional stability. Polyester fibers demonstrate good elasticity, which allows the material to return to its original shape after it is stretched by up to 5–6%. It’s important to note that mechanical stretch is different from fiber stretch. One can design hi-stretch material by using dimensionally stable yarns.

3.Durability. Polyester mesh fabric is highly resilient, offering inherent resistance to damage and degradation stemming from acidic and alkaline chemicals, corrosion, flames, heat, light, mold and mildew, and wear.

4.Hydrophobicity: Polyester mesh is hydrophobic—i.e., tends to repel water—which translates to superior pigment absorption and drying times.

Altogether, these characteristics suit the material for use in a wide range of applications, including ones involving outdoor and demanding environmental conditions.

Polyester Mesh Fabric Applications

    As indicated above, polyester mesh fabric is highly versatile. Some of the industries that regularly employ the material for their parts and products include:

    The aerospace, automotive, and marine industries for curtains, cargo nets, safety harnesses, seat support substrates, literature pockets, and tarps.

    The filtration industry for filters and screens.

    The medical and healthcare industries for curtains, braces, IV bag supports, and patient slings and support systems.

    The occupational safety industry for cut-resistant clothing, high-visibility vests, and safety flags

    Recreational sporting goods industry for aquaculture equipment, camping supplies backpacks, etc.), golf simulator impact screens, and protective netting.

    The exact properties exhibited by the polyester mesh fabric employed depend on the needs of the application and industry.

The Importance of Fabric Finishing and Treatment

    The functional and aesthetic properties demonstrated by a polyester mesh fabric are dependent upon many factors. The final stages of textile production,“the finish”, is typically a topically applied chemical that is set by heat during the process called framing. Once completed, these processes can affect the texture, weight, firmness, colorfastness, and resistances (UV, fire, etc.) of the final material.

    The properties exhibited by a fully finished and treated polyester mesh fabric vary depending on the needs of the application and the industry.

1.Antibacterial finishes: Topically applied anti-microbial finishes eliminate bacterial growth on the surface of the fabric. Bacteria growth creates odor and is also responsible for various healthcare-associated infections. This makes the need for these types of finishes essential for equipment used in the medical and healthcare industries. They are also suitable for sporting equipment as they minimize the spread of odor-causing bacteria.

2.Anti-static finishes: In operations involving sensitive electrical and electronic components, it is important to minimize the buildup of static charge. Fabrics with anti-static coatings reduce the risk of employees and equipment producing static discharge that impacts the integrity of the components.

3.UV resistant finishes: Untreated material exposed to UV rays fades and degrades over time. As such, polyester mesh intended for use in outdoor environments (e.g., recreational equipment) requires the addition of UV inhibitors to the fabric finish or dye formulation to retain the original integrity.

4.Fire Resistant finishes: One of the most commonly used finishes; used to achieve FR compliance in the automotive industry, aeronautical industry, and architectural interior industry (think curtains and indoor rec areas).
