Honeywell expanded its line of Aegis® nylon 6 resins (poliamida) to include a new formulation specifically tailored for fishing line and net applications. Developed in China, the resins are tailored for fishing applications and ease of use in manufacturing.

Honeywell Aegis H95XC Gen II Resin is designed to maximize transparency, flexibility, strength, and elongation, which are key attributes needed in fishing line and nets. The resin also has critical performance additives already imbedded, allowing manufacturers to avoid the time and cost normally associated with blending the materials themselves to achieve the best results.

Fishing lines and nets require certain attributes from nylon, including: transparency so the net cannot be seen underwater; flexibility or softness so the net and line are easy to handle, spread, fold, and store; strength so the line or net does not break under heavy loads; and elongation to prevent knot slippage.
