Best Answer

Nylon is a polymer made from 1,6 hexanediamine. Polyethylene is a polymer made from ethylene.

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.

Polyolefin is the polymer created from smaller olefin monomers such as from ethylene (C2H4) to chain of polyethylene (C2H4)n.

What does fpo mean?

FPO stands for Flexible Polyolefin. An olefin is a chemical compound with at least one carbon atom to carbon atom double bond. An example is the simple olefin ethylene (C2H4). These molecules join together to form a polyolefin, for example poly-ethylene, hence a polyolefin. You can have thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs) or polyolefin elastomers, eg (EPDM rubber).

How is heat shrink sleeve manufactured?

A heat-shrinkable sleeve starts out with a thick extruded polyolefin sheet (polyethylene or Polypropylene) that is formulated to be cross-linkable. After extruding the thick sheet, it is taken to the "beam" where it is passed under a unit that subjects the sheet to electron irradiation. The irradiation process cross-links the polyolefin. This improves the molecular structure such that the polyolefin will work as part of a heat-shrinkable sleeve and provide the required level of mechanical protection while in-service. It makes the polyolefin perform more like a tough, heat-resistant, elastic material, than like a plastic material.After cross-linking, the sheet is stretched by feeding it into a machine that heats it up, stretches it and cools it down. Because the sheet has been cross-linked, after stretching, it will want to recover to its original length when re-heated
