Description

  The present invention relates to a net structure. More particularly, the present invention relates to a net structure that can be used for a long period of time in an outdoor environment because characteristics such as wear resistance and impact resistance are greatly improved as compared with conventional nets. More particularly, the present invention relates to a net structure that can be suitably used without losing its function for a long time even in a particularly severe natural environment such as a river or the ocean.

  Nets used outdoors include, for example, a safety net that covers the construction site and prevents scattering of tools, a curing net, a geonet that is buried in the ground for slope protection and ground reinforcement, The so-called river revetment net, marine revetment net installed on the river shore or ocean shore with stone fragments filled inside the net, as well as various fisheries nets and sports / leisure typified by agricultural snow nets, shading nets, fishing nets There are various types of nets depending on the purpose and form of use. In any of these nets, one of the most important matters is that they can be used for a long period of time in the outdoor environment. To that end, it is necessary to improve the wear resistance and impact resistance of the net. . Among the above nets, river revetment nets and marine revetment nets are in the form of bags filled with stone fragments, concrete fragments, etc., and are installed on river banks and coasts where large wave forces are applied. It is not uncommon to experience repeated collisions with materials and contact with stone sand on the ground surface, sometimes leading to broken nets within a few weeks to months and not retaining their original functions. As described above, a net used in a particularly severe environment must be extremely excellent in wear resistance and impact resistance.

  As described above, improving the wear resistance and impact resistance of the net has been an important and long-standing issue, and many proposals have been made so far. Among them, there are Patent Documents 1 to 4 as techniques that can improve the net characteristics by devising and improving the fibers constituting the net.

  Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe a method of improving the wear resistance and impact resistance by absorbing and dispersing the impact on the net and the wear with stone sand by setting the single yarn fineness of the fibers constituting the net within a specific range. Is described. However, the improvement effect by this method is slight, and when applied to a net used in a harsh environment, the wear resistance and impact resistance are quite insufficient.

  Patent Document 3 discloses a core-sheath composite that is excellent in weather resistance, heat resistance, wear resistance, impact resistance, etc. by arranging polyester in the core and polyamide in the sheath, and further adding a silicon compound in the polyamide. Techniques relating to fibers are described. However, the net using this composite fiber is not sufficient in terms of wear resistance and impact resistance, and cannot satisfy the demand for long-term use in a harsh outdoor environment.

  Patent Document 4 proposes a technique for improving impact resistance and wear resistance by suppressing the dynamic friction coefficient of fibers to 0.10 or less. In this method, it is described that when the fiber and stone sand collide and contact each other, the single fiber constituting the yarn moves quickly and disperses the impact pressure to reduce the damage to the fiber itself. However, it is not always effective in actual outdoor use environments, and there are cases in which the extension of the net life is not recognized. In addition, the dynamic friction coefficient of the fiber is too low to handle, and problems remain in the net manufacturing process.

  As described above, many technologies have been proposed to improve the abrasion resistance and impact resistance of the net by using fiber materials having various characteristics. However, in any case, the effect is limited. There was still a demand for a net structure that further improved wear resistance and impact resistance, that is, an outstanding technical level.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6 have been proposed as techniques related to a composite material in which a fiber material is coated with a resin material.

  Patent Document 5 describes a technique related to a temporary construction net formed by coating a fiber net with a resin composition mainly composed of an epoxy resin, a polyamide resin, and an inorganic filler. Although nets obtained by this method have improved wear resistance and impact resistance compared to nets made only of fiber materials, they are originally technologies aimed at vibration damping and noise elimination, and the service life of the net However, the essential wear resistance and impact resistance were not taken into account in extending the length of the film, and were insufficient.

Patent Document 6 proposes a technique of coating an acrylic or silicon resin on a fiber net having certain physical properties. In this method, a relatively hard resin is selectively used in order to prevent the coating resin from cracking when an elongation stress is applied to the fiber net material. On the other hand, in order to prevent the net material itself from becoming too hard due to the coating resin, the resin coating amount is regulated to 70% or less. In other words, this net structure does not sufficiently consider the suppression of wear progression due to collision / contact with obstacles, as in Patent Document 5, and is particularly severe in repeated collision / contact with stone sands such as rivers and oceans. It was not suitable as a net to be used for a long time in the environment.

  The present invention has been accomplished as a result of intensive studies on problems that could not be solved by the above prior art. In other words, it relates to a net structure with greatly improved wear resistance and impact resistance, and can be applied to all nets used outdoors, and in particular, a bag body filled with stone pieces or concrete pieces. An object of the present invention is to provide a net structure that can maintain its function for a long period of time even when used for river revetment nets and marine revetment nets with large wave power.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention mainly has the following configuration. That is, a net structure in which polyester fibers are coated with a resin elastomer, and the amount of the resin elastomer is 75 to 600 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the fiber. .

Furthermore, in the net structure of the present invention, it is preferable that one of the following (a) to (e) or a combination thereof is satisfied, and further excellent effects can be expected.
(A) The durometer hardness of the net structure is A10 to A80.
(B) The coating amount of the resin elastomer is 150 to 400 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the fiber.
(C) The resin elastomer is at least one elastomer selected from natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile-butadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, and urethane rubber.
(D) The polyester fiber satisfies the following characteristics.
Total fineness: 500-3000 dtex
Single yarn fineness: 18-35 dtex
Strength: 5-9 cN / dtex
Elongation: 15-30%
Dry heat shrinkage: 3-15%
(E) The net structure of the present invention is particularly preferably used for river revetment nets and marine revetment nets.

  According to the present invention, a net structure having greatly improved wear resistance and impact resistance can be obtained, which can be applied to all nets used outdoors, and in particular, a bag filled with stone pieces or concrete pieces. Even when used for river revetment nets and marine revetment nets that have a large wave force, a net structure that can keep its function for a long time can be obtained.

  The present invention is described in detail below.

  Polyester fibers are used for the fiber material constituting the net structure of the present invention. Polyester fibers have excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability, and are excellent in weather resistance, water resistance, etc., and are therefore suitable as fibers for nets used in outdoor environments. The polymer constituting the polyester fiber is not particularly limited, but polyethylene terephthalate containing ethylene terephthalate as a main repeating unit is preferably used in order to obtain a fiber having high strength and toughness. As long as these polymers do not interfere with these properties, some polymer components include acid components such as isophthalic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, dimer acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, butanediol, It may contain a diol component such as hexanediol, diethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol. In recent years, it is also possible to apply recycled polyester fibers that are recommended for use from the viewpoint of protecting the global environment.

  In order to improve the weather resistance, heat resistance, etc. of the fiber material itself, UV absorbers such as benzophenone and benzotriazole, antioxidants, radical scavengers, and inorganic substances such as titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, kaolin and clay Even if it contains, there is no problem, and the use of the fiber material can be expected to sufficiently improve the properties as a net structure. Furthermore, the polymer may contain a colorant. Examples of the colorant include inorganic colorants such as carbon black, zinc oxide, and iron oxide, and organic colorants such as cyanine, phthalocyanine, anthraquinone, azo, perinone, styrene, and quinacdrine. When these colorant-containing polymers are used, the color fastness is excellent, and there is a merit in terms of the global environment and manufacturing cost that the dyeing process can be omitted in the net manufacturing process.

  The polymer used for obtaining a fiber material having high strength and high elongation should have a high degree of polymerization. In the case of polyethylene terephthalate, the intrinsic viscosity is 0.8 or more, preferably 0.9 or more, more preferably 1.0 or more.

  And although the high elongation characteristic of the polyester fiber used for this invention is not specifically limited, It is preferable that intensity | strength is 5-9 cN / dtex, and it is more preferable that it is 7-9 cN / dtex. Further, the elongation is preferably 15 to 30%, more preferably 20 to 30%. By setting the strength and elongation characteristics of the fiber material in such a range, the strength and elongation characteristics of the net structure can be improved, and the probability of breaking even when subjected to a large impact can be reduced. Can be used while maintaining its function for a long time.

  Moreover, since the dry heat shrinkage rate of the polyester fiber is 3 to 15%, a net excellent in form stability is easily obtained with high quality, and is preferably 5 to 10%.

  Further, the total fineness and single yarn fineness of the polyester fiber to be used are not particularly limited, and may be appropriately designed according to the purpose and required characteristics of the net structure, production efficiency and production cost in the net manufacturing process, and the like. In addition, it is preferable that it is 500-3000 dtex from the manufacturing process of a fiber, and it is more preferable that it is 1000-2000 dtex. The single yarn fineness is preferably 18 to 35 dtex, and more preferably 18 to 25 dtex. If it is the polyester fiber of this range, the fiber excellent in especially quality can be obtained with favorable productivity.

  The polyester fiber constituting the net structure of the present invention described above can be produced by a usual method. As an example, a method of melt spinning polyethylene terephthalate is shown, but the method is not limited to this. Polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 1.0 or more is melt-filtered and then spun from the die opening. The spun yarn passes through an atmosphere heated to the melting point of the polymer or higher, for example, 270 to 350 ° C., and is then cooled and solidified with cooling air of 80 ° C. or lower. By passing through such a temperature history, high strength and high elongation fibers can be produced with good quality. The cooled yarn is provided with an oil and wound around a take-up roller that rotates at a predetermined rotation speed. Subsequently, the film is stretched by winding around a roller that rotates at high speed sequentially. In order to obtain fibers having higher strength and higher elongation, the fibers may be divided into 2 to 3 stages and drawn so that the total magnification is 3.5 to 6.0 times. The surface temperature of each roller affects the quality of the fiber obtained, and must be set to an appropriate temperature. For example, it is preferable that the take-up roller and the first stretching supply roller are 60 to 100 ° C., the first stretching roller is 100 to 130 ° C., and the second stretching roller is 180 to 230 ° C. After stretching, a fiber having excellent form stability can be obtained by performing a relaxation treatment of about 1 to 10%. Immediately before winding, it is preferable to perform entanglement treatment by injecting high-pressure air onto the running yarn. It is preferable to make the entanglement as large and uniform as possible, and it is sufficient that the number of entanglements (CF value) is 10-30. By giving such entanglement, the unwinding property of the yarn from the wound cheese, the guide passage property of the yarn, and the like are improved, and troubles in the subsequent net making process and elastomer application process can be avoided.

  The net structure of the present invention usually uses several polyester fibers obtained as described above, and the number of the combined fibers may be appropriately set according to the intended use, desired net strength and the like. For example, in safety nets and curing nets, about 5 to 20 high-strength polyester fibers of about 1670T are often combined to form a net thread. For nets used in more severe environments such as river revetment nets and marine revetment nets, 50 Sometimes more than 100 and sometimes more than 100.

  The shape of the net structure may be set as appropriate according to the intended use and purpose. Examples of meshes include rhombuses, turtle shells, horns, staggers, and hexagons. As the net type, a knot or nodular net, a knotless net, a Russell net, a braided net, a woven net, or the like can be adopted. The greatest feature of the net structure of the present invention is that polyester fibers are coated with a resin elastomer, and in this respect, a knotless network and a Russell network are particularly preferably selected. The mesh size is preferably 10 to 100 mm. In particular, in the case of a net such as a river revetment net or a marine revetment net that is filled with a piece of stone or the like, the filler should be prevented from leaking. What is necessary is just to set to the scale of 50-100 mm, for example.

  The net structure of the present invention is composed of a fiber material and a resin elastomer material.

  The resin elastomer material is not particularly limited, but should be selected so as to be flexible and excellent in wear resistance and impact resistance. That is, in the present invention, it is deliberately called a resin elastomer and is used separately from a normal resin. The resin elastomer is a so-called “rubber”, and is a polymer substance that is soft and elastic at room temperature. And the durometer hardness measured with the durometer type A of the net structure of the present invention in which the resin elastomer is disposed on the surface thereof is preferably A10 to A80, more preferably A30 to A70. A net structure having a hardness within such a range can absorb and relax the impact and attenuate the damage to the own material to a minimum. Similarly, it shows resistance to rubbing against stone sand, and it is possible to suppress wear and disappearance by elastic deformation.

  In other words, the net structure of the present invention has an excellent wear resistance and impact resistance because it is provided with a flexible resin elastomer on its surface, and is long and difficult to break or break even in harsh environments such as rivers and oceans. It can be used while maintaining its function for a period of time. Compared to a net structure with a hard surface coated with a conventionally proposed resin such as epoxy resin, polyamide resin, acrylic resin, silicon resin, etc., it shows an effect far superior in wear resistance and impact resistance. It can be said that there is. The resin elastomer material used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably a material that is rich in flexibility and excellent in wear resistance and impact resistance. Specific examples include natural rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, nitrile-butadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber, chlorosulfonated polyethylene rubber, and urethane rubber. Of these, urethane rubber, chloroprene rubber, and styrene-butadiene rubber are more preferable from the viewpoint of balance of physical properties. By adding a vulcanizing agent and a crosslinking agent to these resin elastomers and then heat-treating them, the structure of the resin elastomer itself becomes more stable and tough, and the net structure that is coated with the elastomer has even more wear resistance and impact resistance. The effect of improving properties is manifested.

  Various chemicals may be added to the elastomer for the purpose of improving wear resistance, impact resistance, weather resistance, water resistance and the like. For example, the addition of fine powders such as high molecular polyethylene and polytetrafluoroethylene can be expected to improve wear resistance, and the addition of inorganic substances such as carbon and silica can be expected to increase the coating strength. In addition, the resin elastomer characteristics can be improved by adding an antioxidant, a pH adjusting agent, a stabilizer and the like. In addition, flame retardants and antibacterial agents can be added within a range that does not impair the original wear resistance, impact resistance, and strength and elongation characteristics, and desired functions can be added to the net structure. .

  The coating amount of the resin elastomer is 75 to 600 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the fiber material, and more preferably in the range of 150 to 400 parts by weight. By setting the coating amount within such a range, it is possible to suppress the progression of wear, damage, etc. to the maximum in any environment, and to maintain the role as a net for a long period of time. When the elastomer coating amount is less than 75 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the fiber, it cannot be said that a sufficient effect is necessarily obtained in use in a very severe environment such as a river or the ocean. On the other hand, when the elastomer coating amount exceeds 600 parts by weight, the improvement in wear resistance and impact resistance is already saturated. On the other hand, the difficulty of the coating process increases, the weight of the net structure itself increases, and the handling property increases. This causes problems such as deterioration of the manufacturing cost, and naturally increases the manufacturing cost.

  As a method of obtaining a net structure in which the polyester fiber of the present invention is coated with a resin elastomer, a method in which a net obtained by molding and knitting a fiber is coated with a resin elastomer, and several fibers or fibers are combined. The method is roughly classified into a method of forming and knitting a fiber material obtained by coating a net elastomer with a resin elastomer. In the present invention, any method can be suitably employed and is not limited at all.

  Examples of the former include a method in which a fiber material of a net structure is immersed in a resin elastomer solution, and then excess resin is removed and homogenized using mangles, vacuum, and a coating knife. A method of directly applying to a fiber material of a structure, a method of spraying using a spray device or a forming device, and the like are common. Among these methods, the dipping method is advantageous for more uniformly applying the resin elastomer. On the other hand, when a large amount of the resin elastomer is desired, the molten resin elastomer is directly applied to the fiber material of the net structure. The coating method is considered more preferable. In the case of the immersion method, the resin elastomer is often diluted and emulsified with an organic solvent or water, and in that case, in order to remove the solvent, a step of heating above the boiling point of the solvent is required. On the other hand, in the melt coating method, the resin elastomer is often used as it is, and the heating step for removing the solvent can be omitted, and an advantage in cost can be expected. Subsequently, in order to firmly fix the resin elastomer to the fiber material of the net structure and to further improve the properties such as wear resistance and impact resistance of the resin elastomer itself, it is preferably subjected to a high temperature heat treatment step. The heating temperature is specific to the resin elastomer to be used. For example, in the case of urethane rubber, it may be set to about 130 to 180 ° C., and in the case of chloroprene rubber, about 100 to 150 ° C. The time for maintaining the temperature should be appropriately set depending on the amount of resin elastomer applied, but if heated for at most 5 minutes, in most cases, an appropriate resin elastomer film is formed, and the desired wear resistance, A net structure excellent in impact resistance can be obtained.

  In another method of obtaining the net structure of the present invention, that is, a method in which a polyester elastomer or a net yarn obtained by combining several fibers is coated with a resin elastomer and then a fiber material is formed and knitted, the fiber and the net yarn In the same manner as described above, a dipping method, a melt coating method, or the like can be used to coat the resin elastomer. Subsequently, in order to obtain a net structure from the elastomer-coated fiber body, a method of knitting a net using a normal fiber knitting machine, and sometimes a metal knitting machine may be used. It is also possible to form by bonding together fibrous bodies coated with an elastomer. Various adhesives may be used for adhesion, and the elastomer present on the fiber surface may be heat-fused.

  The obtained net structure can be used by being attached to a hanging rope or a tying rope depending on the purpose and form of use. These ropes are auxiliary necessary for installing and using the net, and are not subjected to repeated impact and repeated wear assumed in the present invention. Therefore, it is not always necessary to cover with a resin elastomer, and there is no problem even if it is made of only a fiber material or a wire material.

  The net structure of the present invention thus obtained has a resin elastomer excellent in wear resistance, impact resistance, etc. on the surface thereof, and therefore has various characteristics, particularly wear resistance and impact resistance, In any outdoor environment, it can be used for a long time without losing its function. In particular, it is a net structure that can be expected to extend its life even when it is used for river revetment nets and marine revetment nets that have large wave power, with a bag body filled with stone or concrete pieces inside the net. In addition, it does not require a specific production process, and can be realized by combining known net making processes and resin coating processes.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described specifically by way of examples. Various physical properties were calculated by the following methods.

[Intrinsic viscosity of polymer (IV)]:
The relative viscosity ηr of a solution obtained by adding 100 ml of orthochlorophenol to 8.0 g of a sample and heating and dissolving at 160 ° C. for 10 minutes was measured using an Ostwald viscometer, and calculated according to the following approximate expression.
IV = 0.0242ηr + 0.02634

[Total fineness]:

[Elastomer coverage]:
1 m was collected from the fiber material before the elastomer coating, and 1 m was collected from the fiber material after the elastomer coating, and the weight Y was measured and calculated according to the following formula.
Elastomer coverage (parts by weight) = (Y−X) / X × 100

[Durometer hardness of net structure]:
4. Using ASKER durometer hardness tester type A, JIS K-6253 (1997). Measured according to the durometer hardness test. The scale was read within 1 second after the pressing surface was brought into close contact with the side of the test piece. The number of tests was five, and the average value was recorded.

[Strong network structure]:
In accordance with the tensile strength test of JIS A-8960 (2004) 7.2 mesh yarn, measurement was performed using “TENSILON” UCT-100 manufactured by Orientec Co., Ltd., with a grip interval of 25 cm and a tensile speed of 20 cm / min. The number of tests was 10. The elongation at break was determined from the elongation at the point showing the maximum strength in the SS curve.

[Abrasion resistance / impact resistance (strong retention) of net structure]:
A test piece of 30 cm × 30 cm was taken from the net structure. Next, a test piece, about 30 liters of water, about 5 kg of cracked stones, and 3 kg of sand having an average particle size of about 300 μm were placed in a 50 liter concrete mixer and stirred for 1 hour at a rotation speed of 50 rpm. After stirring, the test piece was taken out and dried, then the strength of the net structure was measured, and the wear resistance and impact resistance (strong retention) of the net structure were calculated according to the following formula.
Abrasion resistance / impact resistance (strong retention) of net structure (%)
= (Net strength after wear test / Net strength before wear test) x 100

[Example 1]
An antimony catalyst was added to high-purity terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, and gradually heated to 285 ° C. under reduced pressure. When the predetermined stirring torque was reached, the reaction system was purged with nitrogen and returned to normal pressure to stop the polycondensation reaction. . Next, the obtained polymer was extruded into cold water and cut to produce polyethylene terephthalate pellets. The obtained pellets were pre-crystallized at 130 ° C. for 3 hours and then subjected to solid phase polymerization at 230 ° C. for 10 hours under vacuum to produce polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 1.2. Subsequently, the obtained polyethylene terephthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 1.2 was melted with an extruder-type spinning machine, weighed with a metering pump, filtered in a spinning pack, and spun from a spinneret. At this time, the temperature of each part of the extruder, spin block, and spin pack was set so that the melt polymer temperature was 300 ° C. The spinneret used was a 96-hole, circular hole type.

  The spun yarn passes through a heating cylinder having a temperature of 320 ° C. and a length of 300 mm, and is cooled and solidified by blowing a cooling air of 20 ° C. at a wind speed of 30 m / min. And wound around a take-up roller rotating at a speed of 600 m / min. The wound yarn is not wound once, but is wound around a first stretching supply roller, a first stretching roller, a second stretching roller, and a relaxation roller that rotates at a lower speed than the second stretching roller, which are sequentially rotated at a high speed. Two-stage stretching / relaxation treatment was performed so that the total magnification was 5.6 times and the relaxation rate was 5%. At this time, the temperature of each roller was set to a take-up roller 70 ° C., a first stretching supply roller 100 ° C., a first stretching roller 110 ° C., a second stretching roller 220 ° C., and a relaxation roller 50 ° C. Subsequently, 0.5 Mpa of compressed air is sprayed onto the yarn after the relaxation treatment using a entanglement nozzle, and after the entanglement treatment, it is wound up by a winding device to obtain 1850 dtex-96 filament, strength 7.5 cN / dtex. A polyethylene terephthalate fiber having an elongation of 20% and a dry heat shrinkage of 8.0% was produced.

  Next, eight polyethylene terephthalate fibers obtained were combined and knitted to a mesh size of 50 mm × 50 mm using a Russell type knitting netting machine, and then heat-treated at 150 ° C. for 3 minutes to produce a Russell type net.

  Subsequently, E2000 type urethane rubber manufactured by Daiichi Kogyo Seiyaku Co., Ltd. was selected as the resin elastomer for coating, and after forming an aqueous emulsion with a concentration of 60%, the obtained net was immersed in the urethane solution for 20 seconds and applied. The excess urethane solution was removed with a mangle device, the aqueous medium was removed in the first dry heat bath (100 ° C., 2 minutes), and the urethane was fixed in the second dry heat bath (245 ° C., 2 minutes). . This coating-heat treatment step was performed once to produce the net structure of the present invention.

Table 2 shows the resin coating amount, durometer hardness, strength, and abrasion resistance / impact resistance (strength retention rate) of the obtained net structure.

[Comparative Example 3]
A net structure of the present invention was manufactured in the same manner as Comparative Example 2 except that the coating-heat treatment step was performed 5 times.

  Table 2 shows the elastomer coating amount, durometer hardness, and strength of the obtained net structure. In addition, Table 2 shows the wear resistance and impact resistance (strong retention rate).

[Comparative Example 4]
A net structure was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that Showa Denko 400 type chloroprene rubber (concentration 15%) was used as the resin elastomer for coating. Table 2 shows the elastomer coating amount, durometer hardness, strength, and abrasion resistance / impact resistance (strength retention) of the obtained net structure.

  As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, the net structure of the present invention was flexible, and the result was that the strength retention after the abrasion and impact resistance tests was extremely high. Therefore, it can be expected to maintain its function for a long period of time even in an outdoor environment, especially in a severe environment such as rivers and oceans where it repeatedly collides with waves and sandstone.

  On the other hand, the conventional net of Comparative Example 1 which is made of only a fiber material without an elastomer coating has a low strength retention after the abrasion and impact resistance test, and therefore can easily break in an outdoor environment. It was suggested.

  Also, in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 coated with a hard acrylic resin, the strength retention after the abrasion and impact resistance tests is insufficient, and it can be judged that it is unsuitable for long-term use in outdoor use environments. It was unavoidable. Further, in Comparative Example 4 in which the coating amount of the resin elastomer is outside the range of the present invention, it cannot be said that a sufficient strength retention is obtained, and it cannot be expected to be used for a long period of time in a severe environment.

  Since the net structure of the present invention is provided with a resin elastomer having excellent wear resistance, impact resistance, etc. on its surface, it is extremely excellent in various properties, particularly wear resistance, impact resistance, and any outdoor environment. Below, it can be used for a long time without losing its function. In particular, it is a net structure that can be expected to extend its life even when it is used for river revetment nets and marine revetment nets that have large wave power, with a bag body filled with stone or concrete pieces inside the net. In addition, it does not require a specific production process, and can be realized by combining known net making processes and resin coating processes.
