Netlon spray suppression systems are based on flaps and wing-lining material comprising three complementary highdensity polyethylene mesh structures, secured to a moulded rubber back sheet Each component plays a specific part in converting spray into water droplets, and the portion of flaps below the bottom of the fixed wings have integral chevrons moulded in the back sheet and side vertical channels to return that water to the road.
For application to curved mudwings on steered and non-steered axles, Netlon has two systems: the Standard Device and the Compact Device. On the Standard Device the flaps are one metre long and are bolted to the inside of the wing with just the 550mm stiffened portion protruding below the edge. Widths from 400mm to 635mm are available. Netlon also offers two systems for non-steered axles using the same suppressant material as the Standard and Compact devices. The Valance Moulding System is applied to the rear and sides of individual squared-off half-wing polyethylne mouldings for each set of wheels; the Long Flap and Valance System follow the lines of conventional side valance and rear flap equipment, but with the upper portion of the suppressant material fixed to the inner face of a rigid extension moulding in polyethylene which is bolted to underfloor brackets.
