Alnet Camo Net Technical Specifications

A typical ALNET Camouflage Net consists of a basic Nylon Net, (50mm square mesh and knot breaking strength of 19kg), to which garnishing material is permanently fixed. The garnishing material has been cut in such a pattern that it has a "leafy" appearance and resembles foliage. The assembled net is painted with various colours in disruptive patterns, on both sides of the net, so that it may be used effectively in two different types of terrain or seasons.

The paints used, camouflage effectively in the visual as well as in the Infra-Red range and create a dull surface finish with a spectral response of less than 3% at 85° measured with a standard photo-electric glassmeter.

The base net is edged with two Nylon braids, each 2.5mm diameter, having a breaking strength of 210kg each. Steel rings, evenly spaced are attached to the 2.5mm Nylon surround braid. The rings can be connected by means of steel clips which are fastened to a release cord. This cord permits the joining of two or more nets and the breaking strength of the release cord exceeds 300kg.

The Nylon components, netting and various cords, have been impregnated with weatherproof, water repellant, rot and flame resistant paints.

The garnishing material consists of a woven shrink resistan, U.V. stabilised polyamide, evenly coated with flame retardant P.V.C. with a matt finish. This material is cut to resemble foliage with no repeat patterns that are apparent and the garnishing material is permanently attached to the base net by means of steel clips.
