Polyethylene
There are 2 types: standard high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE), which we'll talk about in the technical yarns category. We'll concentrate here on HDPE. This material is derived from the world's most widely used thermoplastic.
Given its lightness, resistance to UV rays and chemicals, and the fact that this material comes in the form of a fairly large monofilament (0.3mm diameter), it is mainly used in textiles for the manufacture of webbing, ropes and bungee cords for technical use in outdoor, agricultural and fishing applications.
We are also
makers!
On request or by catalog, we are able to combine all our textile articles with an infinite choice of endings: plastic buckles, metal parts, hooks, tilting ends, lugs, snap hooks...
Our technical team is at your disposal for all your developments.
