1. PA6 - The mainstream fiber material in the fishing net industry

In modern fishery, plastic fiber fishing nets have completely replaced traditional cotton and linen nets.
Among them, PA6 (nylon 6) has become the core raw material for global fishing net manufacturing due to its high strength, excellent toughness, wear resistance and salt water resistance.

Compared with polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), PA6 network cables are softer, have firm nodules and a lower breakage rate.
This makes it the preferred material for everything from deep-sea trawls and encircling nets to competitive fishing nets.

💬 In fact, more than 60% of commercial fishing nets in Asia and the Middle East are mainly made of PA6.

Ii. Key Performance Advantages of PA6 Fishing Nets

Each performance indicator directly determines the service life and fishing efficiency of the fishing net.

Iii. The processing form and process compatibility of PA6

Juyuan can provide PA6 particles with matching spinning performance according to different process requirements

  ・Monofilament: High-transparency fishing nets and competitive fishing lines, with high strength and excellent transparency.

  ・Multifilament: It has higher flexibility and is suitable for commercial fishing nets.

  ・Coated Yarn: Anti-UV, antibacterial and anti-aging additives can be added to extend the service life.

We can customize the melt index (MI) and addition system according to the customer's spinning line density, knotting requirements and sea area conditions to ensure stable spinning performance.

Iv. Typical Applications and Recommended Raw Material Systems

For different uses, PA, PE, PP and PET systems can be flexibly selected based on the working environment, budget and target lifespan.

V. A Comprehensive Comparison of Similar Materials

PET features extremely low water absorption and high dimensional stability, making it suitable for long-term immersion or structural nets.

VII. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Which is better, PA6 or HDPE?

👉 PA6 is recommended for Marine trawling or high-strength nets;
👉 HDPE is suitable for lightweight aquaculture cages or protective nets, with low cost and buoyancy.

Q2: Is UV resistance or antibacterial modification required?

It is strongly recommended to add modification to long-term Marine or aquaculture nets, which can significantly extend their service life.

Q3: Can PA6 be blended with other materials?

Sure. PA6 is often blended with PA66 or PET to enhance strength or reduce water absorption rate.

Q4: How to choose between single filament and multi-strand filament?

Monofilament: Suitable for high strength and high transparency requirements;
Multi-strand silk: Soft, easy to weave, suitable for large-area nets.

VIII. Conclusion

The role of plastic raw materials in the manufacturing of fishing nets is not limited to "shaping", but directly determines the lifespan of the nets, fishing efficiency and cost control.
Among various materials, PA6 has become the core material in the fishing net industry due to its outstanding mechanical and environmental resistance.
