Hi all,
Anyone know where I can find noseeum mesh with a fire retardant rating? What mills produce such a product?
Thanks,

Apr 30, 2013 at 4:33 pm #1982077it's nylon .. is it not ?
or even if it was poly.
the stuff's gonn'a burn.consider though, the actual mass of it that you are using. it takes a vast area of it to make enough weight to have enough for real heat. and it's by nature quite spread out, which dissapates energy. thusly, netting burns slow and sputtery.
i have test roasted quite a bit of netting, and it ain't no bonfire sort of an affair.
if not held vertical, so it can feed on itself, it most often just winks out.v.

Cheers

Why do you need your noseeum mesh to be fire retardant?
