| 摘要 |
The invention relates to a process for making a monofilament-like product from a precursor containing a multitude of continuous polyolefin filaments, comprising exposing the precursor to a temperature within the melting point range of the polyolefin for a time sufficient to at least partly fuse adjacent fibres and simultaneously stretching the precursor at a draw ratio of at least 2.5. With the process according to the invention a monofilament-like product can be made that shows higher elongation at break, and high strength and knot strength; making it very suitable for application as e.g. fishing line. The invention further relates to a monofilament-like product obtainable by said process showing elongation at break of at least 4.0%, and to various semi-finished and end-use products comprising said monofilament-like product. |
