Abstract: In order to provide a thread (4, 5) for producing fabrics (2) for insect screens (1), comprising a core, the core having a coating (11) which comprises a heat-activatable adhesive for integrally bonding to itself or to other threads of the fabric (2), and said core having a higher melting point than the adhesive, to provide a fabric (2) for insect screens (1) with a stitch/web structure (7), comprising warp threads (4) and weft threads (5) which are interconnected at node points (6) by means of adhesives, to provide an insect screen (1) comprising a frame (3) and a fabric (2) which is clamped by means of the frame (3), and to provide a method for producing fabrics (2) for insect screens (1), comprising the steps of a) providing threads (4, 5) as warp threads (4) and weft threads (5), b) weaving a fabric (2) using the warp threads (4) and weft threads (5), and c) heating the fabric (2) to a temperature that is higher than the melting point of the adhesive and lower than the melting point of the core so as to c

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a thread (4, 5) for producing a sheet material (2), having a mesh structure, for an insect screen (1), the thread being composed essentially of a carrier material that is triboelectrically chargeable by an air stream, it is proposed that the thread is provided, in particular completely, with a coating (11) containing a hydrophobic coating material.
