Plastic Filament Twine and Rope Making Plant

Abstract

Twine and rope have so far been made of natural fibers for the purpose of fisheries, agriculture, ships, land transportation, etc. - However, the demand for twine and rope made of natural fibers has decreased because of the reasons that they are liable to rot, injure hands while handling them, they must be dried in the sun when they got wet and the supply of natural fibers is on the decrease. In addition, the recent rapid development of petrochemistry has caused the twine and rope to be made from such plastic matters as nylon, polyethylene, polypropylene and the like. In contrast with natural fibers, these chemical products have conspicuously reduced the liability to rot and improved various other defects. As a result, light, strong and handy plastic filament twine and rope have come to be produced both in Japan and in other countries.
