Beta (β) Series polyester monofilament mesh is designed for standard screen printing applications such as textile, glass, and ceramic tile printing. It encompasses a range of mesh specifications, all using NBC’s EX Screen, a high modulus polyester monofilament.
Beta Series mesh benefits from an optimized production process, which allows NBC to pass on cost savings to the customer. However, it features the same NBC quality as Alpha Series and other NBC products, produced under the same quality control standards. As a result, Beta Series mesh delivers high dimensional accuracy and tension stability, at an affordable cost.
EX Screen is NBC’s high modulus polyester mesh that delivers improved productivity and repeatability to your screen printing process through superior physical strength. EX Screen is NBC’s standard for mesh counts with a thread diameter ranging from 35 to 80 microns.
Features
- High dimensional accuracy
- Excellent tension stability
