What is the difference between nylon, polypropylene and polyethylene?
These 3 different types of netting are all man made fibres. Nylon and polypropylene (p/p) give softer, more flexible feel whereas polyethylene (p/e) is quite a wiry type of material. Nylon and p/p are used in applications where a curtain or drape effect is needed to take the speed and impact of a hard ball, e.g. cricket and golf.
