Beijing PFM Screen Co., Ltd

WEAVING TYPES AND PATTERNS 1. Plain Weave; 2. Spiral Loops Link Weave. Plain Weave: Tensile Polyester Mesh Screen We can supply 20mesh/ inch, 25 mesh, 30 mesh, 40 mesh, 50 mesh, 60 mesh to 420 mesh, with a maximum roll width of 3750mm. The low elongation dacron mesh is replacing monofilament polyester mesh in screen printing with quick tension forming, high strength, stable tension, and fast printing.  Screen filter mesh  made with material of PA and PET, polyester, and nylon material. Nylon polyester mesh is widely used in liquid and air filtering, mainly textile printing and dyeing, printing plate, electronic printing, ceramics, glass printing, and other industries. Supplied in two forms of processing: needlefelt or woven mesh fabric. We offer 20~1200 micron filter mesh in polyester and nylon material.   Spiral Link Weave: Mesh Belt, Supplied with or without Filled Wire Spiral mesh  is made with round or flat wire in the form of edgeless, loop link, with filling wire or non-filling.

In this article, we explain the pros and cons of polyester and nylon mesh for screen printing.   Like every other printing process where several parameters are to be critically controlled,  screen printing , though a simpler process, also needs a strict check on various factors to achieve accurate results. This starts right from selecting a right mesh fabric, mesh size, frames, stretch pressure and many such variables depending upon the requirements of applications. When it comes to screen fabric, there are two kinds available in the industry: nylon and polyester. While polyester is being widely used worldover, nylon is the choice of Indian screen printers for majority of applications. The polyester mesh has several superior properties such as  resistance to solvent, high temperature, water, chemicals etc. Also, when acted upon by severe external pressure, its physical performance is stable and stretchability is low. However, as compared to nylon, polyester has poor wear resistance. Th
