Netting Fabric

Netting fabric is any textile where the fused yarns are looped or knotted at their intersections which creates a breathable fabric for many and various end-uses. Netting fabric has always possessed the outstanding attribute of diverse utility. Netting has consistently been used in various applications throughout time, including in the commercial fishing industry and medical/ healthcare sector. The different weaving patterns, the weight and durability of the yarn, the chemical properties of the yarn, and the size of the holes (the gauge) all affect the different uses and kinds of netting fabric currently being used today. Often times, the yarn filaments of the netting are coated with wax or plastic which will add a performance variable to the intended use, such as making the netting waterproof, heavier and stronger.

One of the most obvious applications of netting fabric is anywhere and time where breath-ability is a necessity. The porous nature of netting allows for whatever contents are within the netting fabric to be exposed to air flow and, therefore, would provide a good deterrent to bacteria, mold and other such hygienic concerns.

Some more common uses and applications of netting fabric include:

• Fabric insulation
• Medical netting for cushion, protection and compression
• Commercial fishing trawling lines
• Camping tents
• Luggage and transport bags and sacks
• Hats and wearable accessories
• Mosquito and insect barriers
