which time dimensions stabilize permanently. Width is 72"

Antivirus/No-Thrips Insect Screens
White antivirus insect screens prevent small insects and virus
vectors from entering greenhouses. They are designed to
maximize performance for two major objectives:
1. Maximum air circulation to enable optimal yields.
2. 100% blockage of Bemisia tabaci Whitefly, minimizing or
eliminating use of chemicals.
Years of lab and field testing have resulted in a unique screen
construction to meet these objectives.
Screens are made of high tensile-strength monofilaments. They
are UV resistant and stabilized, lightweight, and easy to install.
Special equipment maintains accuracy of hole size in a patented
construction process, and screen keeps its strength
and stability even if mechanically punctured. Screens are
easily cleaned with power sprayers by interior side flushing.
Two types of screens are available. Antivirus insect screens
exclude Whitefly, Aphids, Leafminers and up to 80% of Western
Flower Thrips. No-thrips insect screens exclude Thrips, and
are designed for applications where exclusion has a priority
over ventilation. Please allow three weeks for delivery.

Square weave pattern of plankton netting
provides straight-through flow path with relatively
high percentage of open surface area.
It is ideal for sifting and filtration applications
requiring a highly permeable media.
Simplicity of the pattern minimizes blinding
and facilitates cleaning.
