Absorption

Retention of liquids in the bulk of the fabric where the liquid is retained by filling up void spaces, i.e. pores of the fiber, between fibers in a yarn and between yarns in the fabric.

Adhesive

Glue for affixing the mesh to the screen printing frame. Mostly used are two component adhesives, but there are also rapid- and UV-glues available

Air flow/air permeability

Measure of the amount of air that flows through a filter – a variable of the degree of contamination, differential pressure, total porosity, and filter area. Expressed in ft3/min/ft2 or l/min/cm2 at a given pressure.

Antistatic (mesh)

Material that minimizes static charge generation, provides 'controlled' static charge dissipation, or both.

Aperture size

See Mesh Opening

Attenuation
