Sharkskin technology engineers the molecular structure of PE, creating a rougher surface that resembles the scales of a shark’s

skin. With less contact points, the fiber is less abrasive.

Think about sliding your hand across glass. The surface is so smooth that it creates significant friction!

To prevent splitting of PE fibers, we entangle the side chains to reinforce any weak spots that would form between the main molecular chains.

FABRIC CONSTRUCTIONKnitting: Fibers knotted together. Very durable, non-directional, with superior seam strength.Tufting: Fibers punched through backing.

FIBER COMPOSITIONNylon: Superior fiber resilience (memory) and strength. Enhanced ball roll characteristics.Polyethylene (PE): Less abrasive and less expensive than Nylon. Repels water.
