2.1.1 SEFAR Fabric Offering
Humidity Influence on Polyamide fabrics

 Humidify the mesh either by:

 1) Store the rolls or cut panels in a room or cupboard with
high humidity (+60%)
 2) Leave the cut panel in a bucket of cold water for ½ an hour
-> Take it out and leave it hanging for ½ - 1h

 Then continue to stretch the

mesh with the stretcher PN2
