Product Description
Porthcurno is our premium blend of 100% recycled Cornish Nylon, recovered from a single type of high strength nylon nets.
When printed as thin sheets it works exceptionally well in applications where flexibility, translucency or dye-ability are useful attributes.
Its light blue-green colour and highly translucent quality mean that it will take a wide range of off-the-shelf dyes extremely well.
When printed as solid bodies it is strong and stiff.
