Material Used in Net Weaving
A net is made from different
materials. The specifications of the
net materials are dependent on its Twine - It is a strong thread, string, or

twisted together. Fibers are the smallest

accessory gear.

Tools Used in Net Weaving Parts of a Twine

1. Shuttle mesh/ Netting needle

- it holds the twine which goes in

and out to make more meshes, it
is made from plastic, copper, horn
of animal and bamboo.

2. Mesh gauge

uniform; this tool is made from plastic and
bamboo
3. Cutter/Trimmer
- it is used for cutting the twine
Fibers are generally classified into two: natural fibers and
artificial or man-made fibers. Natural fibers are taken from three
sources such as: 1) minerals, 2) animals, and 3) vegetables. Wire
fibers are from the hair of a sheep, while the cotton, kapok,
ramie, hemp, and abaca fibers are from the bodies, fruits, and
leaves of plants.
Man-made or artificial fibers are known as synthetic fibers.
The following are examples of synthetic fibers:
a. Polypropylene PP (Pylen)
b. Polyethylene PE (Coulene, Hizex)
c. Polyvinyl Chloride PVC (Teviron)
d. Polyvinyl Alcohol PVA (Kuralon)
 e. Polyamide PA (Nylon, Perlon, and Kapron)
f. Polyvinyliden Chloride PVD (Saran, Kureharon) The durability of the net is based on the chemical, physical and
g. Polyester PES (Tetoron and Terelene) biological properties of the netting materials used in the construction.

Common Types and Forms of Synthetic Fibers
Synthetic fibers are manufactured in the following common forms and WHATS NEW
types.
1. Monofilament Fibers. These are the single filament fibers. An Activity 1
example of this fiber is transparent polyamide PA (commercially Direction: Jumbled Letters
known as nylon, perlon, kapron, amilan, and rilisan). These are
commonly used for gill nets, line fishing, and ropes. In this activity, try to arrange in order the following etters to
