How it is built

Polypropylene is extruded as a film, slit into flat ribbons, fibrillated (optionally) and twisted into twine. Supplied in balls, spools and reels sized for baler knotters or hand use.

How it handles

Flat, slightly harsh hand; grips well in knots; runs reliably through baler knotter mechanisms when correctly sized.

Typical diameter range
Runlength approx. 60 – 400 m/kg (twine size specified by m/kg rather than mm)
