Raw polymers undergo a stringent quality check for purity and consistency before processing.
2. UV Stabilization & Additive Integration: To combat photodegradation, a critical factor for outdoor applications, specialized UV stabilizers and antioxidants are compounded with the polymer during the extrusion phase. This advanced formulation significantly extends the service life of the bird mesh, particularly in regions with high solar radiation.
3. Extrusion & Monofilament Production: The treated polymer blend is extruded through precision dies to form uniform monofilaments. This process ensures consistent diameter and tensile properties, which are fundamental to the overall strength of the net.
4. Netting Weaving/Knotting: Depending on the required mesh structure (knitted or knotted), the monofilaments are interlaced or mechanically knotted. Knotted netting offers superior break strength and structural stability, resisting unraveling even if individual strands are cut. Our heavy-duty variants often employ a robust knotted construction.
5. Heat Setting & Stabilization: The fabricated net undergoes a controlled heat-setting process. This thermal treatment stabilizes the mesh dimensions, removes internal stresses, and enhances knot integrity, preventing shrinkage or distortion over time.
6. Quality Assurance & Testing: Each production batch is subjected to comprehensive testing, including:
   • Tensile Strength Test (ASTM D638): Measures the maximum stress the material can withstand while being stretched or pulled before breaking, ensuring resilience against external forces and bird impact.
   • UV Resistance Accelerated Weathering Test (ASTM G154): Simulates long-term outdoor exposure to evaluate the material's degradation rate, crucial for predicting service life.
   • Mesh Aperture Measurement: Ensures consistent opening size to effectively deter target bird species without trapping.
   • Material Density & Weight: Verification of material composition and specifications.
7. Finishing & Packaging: The approved bird mesh is cut to specified dimensions, rolled, and packaged to prevent damage during transit. Labeling includes product specifications, batch numbers, and installation guidelines.

This rigorous process guarantees a product with an estimated service life of 5-10 years under typical outdoor conditions, making it ideal for target industries such as agriculture, aquaculture, solar energy, petrochemicals, and general industrial facilities, offering advantages like energy saving (by preventing damage to solar panels or equipment) and exceptional corrosion resistance due to the inert nature of the polymer materials.
