Types and characteristics of screen mesh

The commonly used screen mesh usually includes three categories according to material, nylon, polyester, and stainless steel. The polyester screen mesh is divided into three: There are ordinary polyester mesh, high tension low-stretch polyester mesh, and one-side flat mesh. The classification can be illustrated with a simple diagram as follows:

Screen Printing Mesh

Nylon Mesh ----Ordinary polyester screen

Polyester Mesh----high tension, low extension

Stainless Steel Mesh---- single-sided pressing flat-screen

Polyester screen mesh. Besides, there is some professional use of the screen mesh. Such as anti-static Wire Mesh, Glass Special Polyester Wire Mesh, Ceramic Special Nylon Wire Mesh, and so on. The following is a brief description of the following 5 kinds of screen performance.

Nylon Mesh: Woven from polyurethane fiber (commonly known as Nylon), with the advantages of polyurethane fiber. That is:

A. It has good resilience and high elasticity

B. Superior abrasion resistance, suitable for long-form printing

C. The surface is smooth and has a good ink-passing property

D. Good surface tension properties, strong tensile strength

E. Not easy to produce static electricity, a certain degree of Alkali Resistance

The disadvantages of Nylon Mesh are as follows:

A. Poor resistance to direct ultraviolet or strong light

B. Poor acid resistance, affected by temperature and humidity, poor dimensional stability

C. High Elongation rate and large deformation affect the accuracy of overprint
