PolyCB2™ is the result of NASA research grants that have produced polycarbonate 100 times stronger than steel. Polycarbonate was first known to the public in products such as bullet-proof glass and shatter proof plastics. As the need for greater strength and flexibility increased, polycarbonate substrates have become increasingly stronger and versatile.

The ultra fine fibers that make up the polymer core of PolyCB2™ are comprised of molecular chains intertwined in a spaghetti like fashion. These chains react very much like woven nylon rope. The greater the pull, the tighter the weave becomes.

When woven into a mesh, this unique molecular structure produces extreme ball burst and tensile strength. If a force with velocity is applied to it, the impact is gently absorbed by redistribution to the larger surrounding area. This flexibility and return-to-prior-state provides a nearly impenetrable surface.

By coating the extruded strands of fibers with a UV protection, the mesh is protected from molecular break-down or design changes caused by the high frequency ultra-violet sun rays. This inhibits aging and color fading. Biocides incorporated in the coating provide immunity from mold and mildew.

The result is a screen mesh that is stronger, more durable and impervious to the elements. PolyCB2 Screen Mesh™ will not stretch out of shape after years of wear and will not become brittle. It potentially has an unlimited lifespan.

PolyCB2 Screen Mesh™ is currently produced and packaged for specific purpose harsh environment applications. At this time, it is manufactured in limited quantities and being appraised in the construction of new home sites as well as being tested for a verity of industrial and commercial applications. As production levels are increased, PolyCB2 Screen Mesh™ will soon incorporate a lifetime warranty and be marketed to the public for the full screening of pool cages, patios, porches and sunrooms.
