TECHNOLOGY

Our CLAF® mesh is manufactured in a highly sophisticated proprietary process that starts with a co-extrusion and ends with an extremely accurate scrim of cross laminated strands.

MAGNIFIED CLAF® STRAND CROSS-SECTION

• Outer layers are the laminating surfaces
• HDPE inner core strand provides strength
• Optional outer layer material blends available
