Nylon

• The most commonly used material for bag nets in aquaculture
• Cost-effective
• Easy to work with and repair
• Treated with either antifouling or coating in order to reduce fouling and ensure more straightforward maintenance/rinsing
• Supplied both as a nodal line and non-nodal
• Considered the ‘standard netting’ in Norway and used by most customers at present

Polyester

• A good deal heavier than nylon
• Good against UV 
• Good form stability 
• Less shrinkage than nylon 
• Treated with either antifouling or coating in order to reduce fouling and ensure more straightforward maintenance/rinsing
• Supplied both as a nodal line and non-nodal
• Resistant to wear 

HDPE

HDPE have been tested under extreme stresses and demonstrates excellent properties in terms of fracture strength and wear. Third-party tests document the superior strength of HDPE.

• Extremely durable
• Withstands high frequency of washing
• Environmentally friendly – ​no antifouling
• Long service life and low service costs 
• Reduced escape risk 
• Designed to ensure better sinkability
• Better water flow than traditional nets, which provides a better environment in the note
• Less deformation and inflation of the netting 

UHMWPE

Stronger netting, which has very good properties with regard to breaking strength and wear. It has undergone rigorous testing, withstanding high-stress conditions and repeated net cleaning, surpassing traditional netting in both wear resistance and breaking strength. Improved water flow provides a better environment for the fish.

• Long service life and low service costs
• Reduced escape risk
• Designed to ensure better sinkability
• Better water flow than traditional nets, which provides a better environment in the note
• Less deformation and inflation of the netting
