Overview
TPI manufactures integrally-formed, extruded plastic nets, which are used for reinforcement, containment and separation applications by a wide range of manufacturers in major markets. Being integrally-formed, these nets offer superior dimensional and functional stability in use. During extrusion, a variety of additives can be used to provide specific color, photo-degradation, bio-degradation and ultra-violet light inhibitor requirements. In their end-use application, these nets can be either oriented or unoriented. The orientation process aligns the polymer molecules into a linear formation with a more rigid structure than in an unoriented polymer. This results in a class of products that exhibit an increased tensile strength in both the machine and cross-machine direction, yet at reduced unit weight due to the increased aperture openings.

Finished product applications include:

Oriented Netting Products- lightweight oriented nets used for:

Rolled erosion control products
Insulators in the manufacture of bedding
Reinforcement of bonded foam carpet pads
Wildlife predator control
Protection and containment in a variety of aquaculture applications
Containment in snow fence and event fence applications

Unoriented Netting Products- extruded cast net used for:

Structural support and containment in a wide range of filtration applications
Support in furniture applications
Agricultural containment applications
Parts separation in material handling applications
Safety fence in construction and industrial applications
