Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a polypropylene-based mesh sheet for construction work.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A mesh sheet for construction work is used as a scaffold at a construction work site such as a building or a house to prevent bolts and other construction materials from falling from the construction site and to ensure the safety of passers-by. And a sheet body attached to the outer surface of the temporary structure. These are generally made of a fibrous material made of thermoplastic resin, which is easily flammable, and there is a danger that they will spread due to welding sparks or the like. For that, JI
Table 1 of Appendix of SA8952 “Sheet for Building Work” defines the flameproof standard, and it is customary that various flame retarding treatments are applied to pass the standard.

[0003] More specifically, mesh sheets for building works are often formed by laminating a woven or knitted fabric using a filament yarn such as polyester or nylon with a polyvinyl chloride-based resin. The advantage is that the strength of the woven and knitted fabric is sufficient and it is flexible, and the flame resistance is given by the polyvinyl chloride resin.
As a disadvantage, the laminated polyvinyl chloride resin has problems such as dirt and odor due to bleeding of the plasticizer,
In addition, due to the relatively heavy weight, labor is required for the spreading work at a high place, and furthermore, handling is difficult, such as generation of toxic gas during incineration in disposal. Further, the polyvinyl chloride-based resin has a problem that it is hardened at a low temperature, is difficult to handle, and is brittle, and its strength is reduced.

In order to solve such a problem, in recent years,
A mesh sheet made of polyolefin filaments having excellent filament formability and generating no toxic gas is used. In particular, polypropylene monofilaments having excellent mechanical properties are often used. However,
A woven or knitted fabric using a polypropylene monofilament as the warp has poor flexibility due to the rigidity of the polypropylene, is difficult to fold, and has an inconvenience that it is not easy to handle in a stretching operation at a construction site.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, it is an object of the present invention to provide a polypropylene mesh sheet for building works which is lightweight, high in strength and excellent in flexibility and has flame retardancy.
