Netting Your Future
At Intermas, innovation drives us to always stay one step ahead. For over six decades, we have developed advanced solutions with cutting-edge technology to ensure the highest quality and efficiency.
Our mesh extrusion process transforms raw materials into structures tailored to the most demanding needs. Additionally, we apply our expertise to develop 100% recyclable and biocompostable materials, betting on a more sustainable future.
At Intermas, we don’t just create solutions, we create the future.
'Netlon systems' 'Reverse Rotation System
With this technology, two dies rotate in opposite directions. The dies have grooves through which the molten material flows. Due to their rotation, the mesh shape will always be diamond-shaped.
Trical 'Oscillation System
In the process known as Trical, only one die moves. The oscillation causes the material to flow and forms rings that solidify with the crossed filaments. The final product is a mesh that has angles of about 90º. Once produced, the mesh can go through other manufacturing stages that can considerably change the characteristics of the basic product: orientation, bi-orientation, or lamination.
Lamination
In some applications, the extruded mesh is used as a support for another material. This process is called lamination and involves bonding the mesh to one or more materials. This combination enhances its effectiveness.
To combine the materials, they must be heated to the desired temperature, and then pressure is applied to achieve the fusion of the liquid molecules.
Subsequent Orientation and Bi-orientation Processes
Orientation is the process by which polymer molecular chains are aligned in one direction. This method is used to manufacture products intended for specific applications.
The chains can be oriented by applying a controlled temperature to stretch them longitudinally in the case of mono-oriented meshes, and transversally for bi-oriented products (BOP).
The result significantly increases tensile strength and reduces the mesh weight by decreasing the thread diameter.
Other processes
In addition to the processes described above, Intermas performs various types of complementary finishes for a wide range of products, aimed at facilitating and enhancing functionality during application.
Some examples include: cross cuts, die-cutting, perforation, welding, incorporation of bands, stitching, etc.
All of these finishing processes greatly facilitate the application of our products."
Reverse Rotation System" of the Netlon Systems
The main characteristics that define the meshes are the structure (thread shape, joint, thickness, angle, and distance between threads), the materials (raw materials + additives + dyes), the width, and the color.
