Traditionally Nylon nets have been used in the fish farming industry since its inception. Over the last decade, HDPE nets have proven to be one of the best solutions for aquaculture farming due to its properties.

Garware team has developed a V4 treatment (patent pending), that allows HDPE nets to be painted with antifouling coatings.
