Monofilament Twine

Twine twisted from round single filaments — stiff, abrasion-tolerant and rot-proof. The global standard for fishing net repair and aquaculture.

Polyethylene monofilament twisted twine on small spools, three colours

How it is built

Round monofilament yarns (commonly PE, diameter ~0.15–0.5 mm per filament) twisted into plies, then plies twisted into twine. Specified by filament diameter and ply count (e.g. 210D systems) or by diameter/runlength.

How it handles

Firm and slightly springy; holds knots well; tolerates abrasion against net frames, cages and hardware.

Typical diameter range
Approx. 0.5 mm – 3 mm twine diameter (specified by ply systems like 210D/6–60)

Strengths

  • High abrasion tolerance for its size
  • Rot-proof, non-absorbent — permanent underwater use
  • Consistent diameter for netting and mending
  • Economical per kg in PE

Limitations

  • Stiffer hand than multifilament twine
  • Not suited where soft handling is required
  • Small diameters limit working loads

Common uses

Fishing net repair and makingAquaculture cages and longlinesCrab/lobster pot lacingGreenhouse and garden tying

Common materials for this construction

Polyethylene Rope

Soft, flexible and floatable — the standard fiber of the fishing and aquaculture industry, and a good choice for cold-weather or repeated-handling utility rope.

Polypropylene Rope

The most widely used synthetic rope fiber: lightweight, floats on water, rot-proof and economical. The default choice for packing, marine utility and agriculture.

Products with this construction
