Plastic mesh organises and protects
A novel plastic mesh netting can be used to corral, organise and protect wire, fibre, cable, piping, tubing, hose and other products.
Plastics product design and development firm Creative Plastics and Design (CPD) has introduced a novel, plastic mesh netting developed to corral, organise and protect wire, fibre, cable, piping, tubing, hose and other products Designed for wire and cable installers, electrical contractors, property managers, plumbers, builders, landscapers, facility managers, plant engineers and others, the CPD plastic mesh surrounds the product in a 4 x 1.75in profile of protective, flexible netting

In indoor installations, the CPD mesh eliminates dangling cords and permits continuous visual access.
In underground installations, the CPD mesh provides a safeguard against excavating machinery and animals.
Extruded from polypropylene, the waterproof, corrosion-proof CPD plastic mesh is ideal in commercial, industrial and residential indoor wire and cable management settings where safety and access to the products are paramount and product visibility is acceptable.
The new plastic mesh is nonconductive and crack-resistant and is available in virtually any length or colour.
The CPD plastic mesh is the result of a highly advanced concept in extrusion.
Typically focusing solely on continuous extrusion of the profile, CPD engineers also had to create a continuous, repeating pattern of squared breaks in the plastic and responded with the development of a novel gear mechanism that created the spaces as it rotated against the profile downstream from the die.
CPD engineers also developed the die and cutter to maintain the strength of the mesh despite the high proportion of space between the plastic segments.
