HDPE Monofilament Yarns
HDPE Monofilament Yarns are materials that are used for weaving braiding and twisting applications in agro, geo, and industrial textiles.
Polyethylene is the most popular form of plastic with a very simple structure of Carbon and hydrogen atoms chemically connected in the form of long chains. There are two types of polyethylene:
Branched or Low-density Polyethylene(LDPE): easier to make and cheaper
Linear or High-density polyethylene(HDPE): More stringer and mostly used
Advantages of HDPE
- HDPE has high crystallinity and high melting temperatures
- Also called linear PE, HDPE gives greater hardness and tensile strength
- Widely used in bottles, housewares, pipes, wires, and cable insulations
Uses of HDPE Monofilament Yarns
- Weaving material for agro textiles such as filters, shade nets, industrial textiles, and furnishing fabrics
- Braiding material for ropes, fishing nets, fences, rubber bands, and strings
- Knitting and twisting into safety nets, protection covers, open packaging, and marking materials
- Reinforcement material for coating products
Applications of HDPE Monofilaments
- Nets and fabrics for agricultural textiles
- Shade nets, sun breakers, blinds, safety nets, wind walls
- Swimming pool covers
- Fishing nets
- Ropes and strings
- Reinforcements in coated plastic products
