NET-SHAPED PROTECTIVE MATERIAL FOR WIRE HARNESS AND METHOD OF PRODUCTION OF SAME

摘要

A net-shaped protective material for wire harness sheathing which has flame retardancy and is free from mesh deformation. Vertical strands(2)and horizontal strands(3)which are constituted of a flame-retardant resin wire having an elliptic sectional shape have been pressed and hot melt bonded at the intersections (4) thereof to form a net shape. The vertical strands and horizontal strands are superposed at the intersections without interlacing, and one or both of the vertical strands and horizontal strands are melted in a state where 40% to 50 % of the sectional area has been melted and embedded in the other strands. The protective metal has a cut end which has undergone fraying prevention processing.
