SIDLION 6 is the synthetic monofilament "par excellence". It has been well known for a long time for its very good features in terms of toughness, evenness and processability.
The optimum dyeing properties enables this monofilament to be used not only in the textile industry, but also in other fields such as the production of colour samples for hair dyeing and fashion fabrics.
The applications of this monofilament in the textile industry are almost unlimited : from elastic and decorative ribbons to fishing nets and paper machines press felts.
Special applications are tennis racket strings, instruments strings and monofilaments for industrial and sports fishing. It can be used in contact with food (FDA).
