Our hail nets are made of polyethyleen with a high density (PEHD) and U.V. resistant. The mesh side of the hail net is 2,8mm x 8,7mm. The hail net is in many widths and lengths availble. We deliver the hail nets in crystal, and also in black and grey.
KLY
The KLY-value of kristall hail net is 950 KLY. In the Netherlands the average is 80 KLY in a year. U.V. stabilisatoren slowing down the aging process of the plastic (PEHD). The quantity of U.V. stabilisatoren provide the KLY-value. By experience we know that the hail nets has a life span of 10-15 years.
KLY provide for the most how long the life span of the hail net is. The same as KLY-value the weather influences, like wind, provide also an large part of the life span. The disadvantage of to much U.V. stabilisatoren (KLY) is that the flexibility of the hail net increase and the hail net become tougher. When the hail net is tough the hail net can break when there is strong wind.
