Shade fabric is a fabric made of high-density polyethylene material, which has very good weather resistance and shade function.
These features allow it to be used very widely in planting and growing plants, and it is often used in our lives.
The quality of shade fabric is influenced by many aspects. Today we will discuss the impact of shade fabric material on quality.
What is shade fabric?
Shade fabric is a kind of fabric woven with HDPE fiber, because the weave density of the fabric can be well controlled, so we can control the weave density according to the requirement of shade rate.
Therefore, this kind of shade fabric is widely used in agriculture, greenhouse, hail protection, insect protection and other fields.
What is the raw material from which the shade fabric is made?
The raw material of shade fabric is a polyethylene, which has a very good weather resistance because of its extra-long chain polymer structure. It has a long service life in the UV environment.
The raw material of shade fabric also includes the following materials.
- 1, High density polyethylene, the main raw material, about 95% of the ratio
- 2, color masterbatch, is a kind of dyeing material, can give shade net various colors, common titanium oxide, graphite black, etc.
- 3, UV stabilizer, is a kind of trace additive, can effectively improve the service life of the shade net.
- 4, flame retardant, a flame retardant material, not all shade net need to add flame retardant.
- 5, curing agent, help polyethylene fiber to get higher toughness.
- 6, Other special materials, special materials under the requirements of special scenarios. For example, anti-static additives, hydrophobic formulations, etc..
These raw material components through a certain ratio, to achieve product performance changes, or performance enhancements, so as to meet the requirements of the use of scenarios.
The influence of raw materials of shade fabric?
Because the ratio of shade fabric is a kind of secret, each factory has its own unique skills, these need a lot of experiments to test, so as to come to a conclusion. We are not discussing those very special cases today, we only discuss the general and professional knowledge.
- High-density polyethylene material has the largest proportion and the greatest impact. Usually there are two kinds of materials on the market, one is the raw material produced by regular chemical companies, which is a petroleum accessory. Due to the same process, there is not much difference between the materials of each manufacturer, the main difference also lies in the stability of product quality. More stable, better.
- An alternative to HDPE is the first recycled polyethylene material, because it is very common and environmentally friendly. The performance of primary recycled polyethylene material can meet the production conditions of some products. But there are many scenarios where only primary raw materials can be produced. The performance of recycled material is reduced, but the price is also cheaper.
- The influence of raw material is mainly reflected in the tensile strength and longevity of the finished product. And better raw materials are more pure, no impurities, and therefore have better performance and life.
- UV stabilizer, many scenarios, because the UV stabilizer is expensive, so the UV stabilizer content is also a very big difference. Higher UV stabilizer content, with better UV resistance, in the outdoor environment, the product has a better life.
How to identify the raw material?
Our factory has very scientific instruments, including tensile machine, UV irradiation room, etc.. We will do the most complete testing and inspection on the materials and finished products. If you do not know, you can follow the following points to identify.
- 1, look at the color. Good raw materials, the color is brighter. Recycled raw materials, often grayish, white.
- 2, see whether the strong. Good raw materials can withstand greater tension, even if the extension is not easy to break.
- 3, measure the weight, good raw materials are generally more dense, more weight.
Conclusion
We are a big factory with more than 300 employees and international management standards. We are able to provide very high quality products. If you are interested in our products, you are welcome to contact us.
