High-Quality Monofilaments
Our High-Quality Monofilaments product range comprises a number of brands, which on account of their distinguished properties have established themselves in the market.
FireRetard® The FireRetard® product family offers a wide ranging spectrum of flame retardant PET/PP and ElasTer monofilaments. The flame retardant properties are produced through the use of Trevira CS® raw material or through specially developed additives.
ElasTer® Made from PBT and through the addition of different levels of thermoplastic Polyether, Monofilament can be produced with up to 200% elongation and high elastic properties.
DuraFil® DuraFil® stands for Monofilament with increased abrasion resistance. This facilitates longer running time and a better fibrillation resistance.
EasyKleen® Monofilaments within the EasyKleen® product range have improved cleaning properties.
EnerSave® EnerSave® is Perlon®‘s contribution to resource efficiency.
HighGrip To be able to forgo a separate coating process, Perlon® has developed HighGrip monofilament with tribological properties. These Bico-monofilaments made from PET have special surfaces with special bonding properties and varying softening points.
Atlas® Atlas® -ropes are made up of six strand rope which are manufactured completely out of Polyamide 6. The monofilament gives the rope an excellent dimensional stability and long lasting flexural stiffness.
Bayco® A high level of UV and weather resistance as well as the resistant elasticity and low density make Bayco® the perfect tension and stitching wire for use in agricultural applications such as wine cultivation.
PerlonXline Special fishing techniques require special line properties, whether stretch, colour, load bearing capacity, transparency or softness, PerlonXline-Monofilament is manufactured from co-polyamide and is available with different additives and coatings.
AntiStat AntiStat is a polyester based Bico-monofilament with anti-static properties. The core is primarily the reinforcing support and the outer sheath (through the addition of carbon) is responsible for the removal of static charge
PearlTech® Through the addition of certain particles into the polymer melts, we have created a monofilament with new surface properties and a changed optical appearance.
