Monofilament | Definition

Pronunciation: 

mo-nō-fil-a-ment

 

Defintion: 

Similar to what you probably know of as a fishing line. Most synthetic fibers are created through an extrusion process that involves melting pellets of plastics, (i.e. nylon, polyester, etc.) that are then pushed through a device similar to a shower head. The result of this process is long synthetic fibers that cool and become monofilaments.

 

Associated Fabrics: 

0.7 oz MONOLITE Ripstop Nylon Mesh
