Abstract
Polypropylene is a non-apparel fibre popular in the
west because of its inherent properties and versatility.
It is melt spun from polypropylene resin. First introduced
in 1954 in Italy (Klust, 1964) its production
started in India in 1976 and only in the eightees its
use as a multifilament yarn for the benefit of the fishing
industry was envisaged. This paper deals with (he
first set of twines made available in the country for
fish net and makes a comparison with polyamide multifilament
twines because of the latter's pre-eminence in
the fishing industry.
