Polypropylene Net (PP)

Main features of polypropylene fiber:

Floating (density = 0,91/0,92)

Good resistance to breaking

High resistance to abrasion

Polypropylene is used in production of bird protection nets

COLOURS: black/white/yellow/green/red/blue

The PP double bar netting ( see opposite side picture), is made of a cylindrical shape twine reaching up to a 5mm thickness.

If compared to standard nets, it is excellent for a kind of molluscs farming requiring a larger surface for the "larvae establishment”.

A specific weight lower than 1, so allowing the possibility of floating, confers to the net a positive thrust which contrasts the negative pressure of the sessile animals during their growth.

The net named "Multicolour" is mainly used in kids playground areas as a protection against falls. The multiple dyeing is making this net very playful.
