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
| Tài sản | Sự miêu tả |
| High Tensile Strength | Strong and durable, suitable for large-scale fishing applications |
| Excellent Abrasion Resistance | Resists wear from rocks and shells, extending service life |
| Good Elastic Recovery | Maintains mesh shape during use, resistant to deformation |
| Saltwater & UV Resistance | Suitable for long-term exposure to marine environments |
| High Transparency | Less visible underwater, improving catch efficiency |
| Moderate Water Absorption | Slightly absorbent—helps nets sink without becoming too heavy |
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.
