Woven Scrim - Technical Fabric

Woven scrim is a reinforcement textile made by weaving yarns in both warp (lengthwise) and weft (crosswise) directions to form a grid or mesh-like structure. It is essentially a lightweight, open-mesh fabric used as a base for coatings, laminations, or composite applications where strength, dimensional stability, and minimal weight are required.

Parameter                      Typical Range / Notes

Yarn Material                  Polyester (most common), also Polypropylene, Nylon depending

                                          on application

Yarn Denier                     From ~150D up to several thousand denier depending on strength 

                                          requirement

Mesh / TPI                       Varies: can be coarse or fine weaves; common warp/weft 

(Threads Per Inch)          densities might  be 6×6 up to 20×20 or more for premium strength

Open Area / Porosity    Because of the open mesh, woven scrim allows adhesion of coating, 

                                         good penetrability for resin or coatings, and lower weight for 

                                         volume area

Width                               Can be produced in wide rolls, sometimes up to 5.20 meter widths or 

                                         more in special setups

Tensile Strength            Depends on yarn denier + weave; high strength in both directions is 

                                         possible with heavy yarns and tight weave  

• Base layer for PVC flex banners, hoardings, and signage
   
• Reinforcement in waterproofing membranes and roofing felts
   
• Laminates, wall coverings, and flooring backings
   
• Industrial composites, where fabric is coated or embedded in resin
   
• Industrial tapes and packaging reinforcements
   

• Provides structural support without excessive weight
   
• Enhances dimensional stability (fewer wrinkles, better resistance to stretch/shrink)
   
• Helps coatings or laminates maintain integrity under stress (wind, tension)
   
• More cost-efficient in many large-scale applications due to use of open, lighter weaves
