Twisted Polyethylene Twine
- Manufactured with high quality fiber
- Ultra Violet (U.V.) inhibitors and stabilizers are added to our resin to reduce damage caused by sunlight
- Polyethylene twine is less elastic than nylon- will not stretch as much under tension
- When our twine is extruded (manufactured) the color is added to the resin which results in a deeper, richer color that does not fade quickly
- The filaments in polyethylene are larger in diameter than nylon or polyester filaments and are more abrasion resistant (will not wear or chaff when rubbed against rocks or sand)
- Will not rot
- Is not affected by most chemicals, fuels, grease, or marine growth
- Polyethylene will stay tied into a knot much better than polypropylene
- Polyethylene twine is normally less expensive per pound or kilo than nylon or polyester twines
- Ideal for use in fish and sport netting, gardening, trot lines, or anywhere a light weight, relatively strong, and inexpensive twine is needed
