Three days of fishing and two days of net drying are criticisms of laziness and lack of persistence in our habits, but in the past, fishermen had to fish for three days and net drying for two days. Because in the past, fishing nets were woven with hemp fibers, which were prone to swelling when soaked, rotting when damp, and tearing easily. Therefore, after two or three days of use, the nets were dried for two days to repair and extend their lifespan. Therefore, three days of fishing and two days of drying the nets meant that fishermen must first use their tools if they want to do good work.
But now fishermen no longer have to fish for three days and sun dry their nets for two days. In modern times, fishing nets are no longer made of hemp fibers, and the material used to make fishing nets is a polymer material - nylon.
The nylon 6 used for making fishing nets has changed the water absorption properties of cotton and hemp, so there is no need to "sun dry the net". Moreover, the fishing net made of nylon 6 material has very high strength and strong corrosion resistance in both freshwater and seawater, with a service life of 5-8 years. Non absorbent and not easily broken, nylon will completely end the three-day fishing and two-day sun drying process.
Since it is a corrosion-resistant and difficult to degrade polymer material, the fate of these fishing nets in 5-8 years has become a major issue. Since the advent of plastic products, fishing nets that cannot be scientifically processed have opened the net of death towards marine organisms, which cannot help but be heartbreaking. So where should these fishing nets go? There are marine organizations that recycle and reuse discarded fishing nets from the ocean to produce ball nets. However, picking up marine debris cannot truly solve the problem. It is most important to avoid indiscriminate disposal of fishing nets from the source. Recycling old fishing nets is not only about making them into ball nets, but also scientifically processing them into nylon particles or silk, which can continue to be used as materials in the manufacturing industry for suitable product manufacturing.
In fact, nylon is not only the terminator of three days of fishing and two days of net drying, but also indispensable in our lives. Nylon is involved in everything from the nylon ropes and clothing we have heard of, to various household appliances, cars, medical components that we have never had a deep understanding of. It is possible that you are not aware that these are nylon products. Through the pictures, we can roughly understand the wide application of nylon in daily life. Many plastic products are made of nylon resin.
How did nylon, which has been around for less than a hundred years, quickly occupy the manufacturing industry and become an important engineering plastic? This is because of the excellent performance of nylon itself, which has high mechanical strength, heat resistance, wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance... These excellent properties give nylon a great potential for utilization and development.
For example, although nylon resin initially had good high-temperature resistance, it was not satisfactory in low-temperature environments, and the product experienced a sharp decrease in toughness and low-temperature embrittlement. In response to this drawback, there has been new development, which has improved the low-temperature resistance of nylon resin through modification. This achievement allows nylon to be easily applied to the production of ice skates and sleds. There are also flame-retardant properties tailored to the needs of the product. By adding phosphorus, halogens, etc. to the nylon resin to form flame-retardant nylon, the flame-retardant performance of the nylon is enhanced, and it can be applied more widely and safely in the manufacturing industry.
In response to various higher requirements and challenges, based on the existing excellent foundation, nylon materials can be easily solved through modification. Now, reinforced flame-retardant nylon, glass fiber reinforced nylon, cold resistant and super tough PA66, etc. have been developed, which can meet the needs of various production processes. For example, our EP6020 product is powerful and can meet your various needs for nylon additives.
Of course, from the painful lessons of abandoned fishing nets, we should recycle and reuse these nylon products well, rather than only realizing it after environmental damage. In daily life, it is important not to casually dispose of plastic products. In fact, many nylon products have a long lifespan, and increasing their usage time is not only economical but also environmentally friendly. Secondly, it is necessary to properly classify garbage and achieve the recycling and utilization of nylon products. Environmental protection is in every aspect of life. It is not difficult to achieve environmental protection with a little thought.
