Power Mesh

Power Mesh achieves high tension and ultra precision printing by using finer base threads.

Screen strength and elasticity (SS curves)

Power Mesh is extremely low in elongation and can easily achieve fabric tensioning and plate making through high tension.

Screen elasticity coefficient

Testing method:

JIS L 1096-1990 (Labeled Strip Method)
Shimadzu Autograph AC-500B
Gripping distance: 20cm
Test specimen width: 5cm
Tensile strength: 10cm/min

*Elasticity coefficient: The distance between the two points on the SS curves is equally divided into ten points, and this is obtained from the data of each point according to the least-square method.

Power Mesh is excellent in elasticity resilience and can remarkably enhance plate wear and printing precision.

50-cycle test and remaining elasticity elongation after testing the 330S (30 )

Accumulated total of tensile elongation of 50 cycles

Testing method:		Testing machine: Testing equipment: Shimadzu Autograph AC-500B
		Gripping distance: 20cm
		Test specimen width: 5cm
		Tensile strength: 10cm/min
		No. of cycles: 50 cycles
	*Toughness: Screen elongation when cycle testing and the screen's remaining elongation after testing are extremely small. This means Power Mesh is very durable.

Power Mesh achieves a suitable combination of high strength, high elasticity coefficient, and high elasticity resilience; thus, the change in tension over time is minimal after fabric tensioning, which significantly enhances printing dimensional accuracy.
