Specifications

Grades, strands, weave & coating

The spec sheet bends to your order. Mix strength grade, strand count, weave density and coating to hit your price point and performance target.

Fiber & strength grade

Raw material	Premium UHMWPE fiber — ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene for high strength and abrasion resistance.
Economic strength level	28–31 cN/dtex
Middle strength level	32–34 cN/dtex
High strength level	35–38 cN/dtex

Braid construction

Braided strands	X4 / X8 / X9 / X12 / X13 / X16
Plain weave	X4 / X8 / X12 / X16
Core-added structure	X9 (X8 + 1) · X13 (X12 + 1)

Weave density — PPI (picks per inch)

18–24 PPI · Economic (X4 / X8)	Looser weave, flatter profile — the value tier, more prone to fuzzing.
26–32 PPI · Mainstream (X8)	Tight weave, round line body — the everyday workhorse grade.
32–52 PPI · High Grade / Pro Tournament (X8 / X12 / X16)	Ultra-tight weave — round, thinner, stronger and smoother through the guides.

Coating

Normal PU coating	Standard finish — lower abrasion resistance, fades faster.
High-density nano coating	Stronger colorfastness and abrasion resistance; holds up under sun and friction.

Why PE braid

Five reasons braid outperforms mono

01 · Tensile performance

Higher breaking strength at the same diameter

Big pound-tests in a thin diameter, so the reel holds more line. Near-zero stretch sends the bite signal straight to your hand for fast hooksets, and the raw strength handles big fish, saltwater and pulling hard against structure.

02 · Diameter & casting

Thinner line, longer casts

At the same pound-test, PE runs far thinner than nylon. Less air and water drag means longer casts and a faster sink to find the fish-holding layer.

03 · Abrasion & environment

Abrasion resistant, non-absorbent

Outlasts nylon against rocks, sunken wood and pilings. It doesn't absorb water, so strength and diameter hold when wet — and it resists saltwater corrosion.

04 · Practical use

Low memory, high sensitivity

No coil for smooth line lay off the spool, and enough sensitivity to feel bottom structure and light bites. Suits lure, sea, boat and long-cast fishing, and makes ideal bulk-spool backing.

05 · Durability

Long shelf life, UV stable

Braid doesn't go brittle from UV the way nylon does. Long outdoor service life with slow performance loss over time.

Sizes & diameters

Diameter reference by grade

Each grade below has its own diameter-to-pound-test chart, from Ultra Thin X4 up to Standard X16 at 254 lb. Diameters in mm; strength in LB and KG test. Standard X16 is listed from 0.285 mm (60 lb); lighter X16 diameters may be made to order with their own minimum — we confirm availability in writing.

Straight answers

Private-label braid: what buyers ask

Do you make 8-strand and 16-strand braid for a standard and a premium range?

Yes. X8 is listed in three grades (Economy, Never Fade and High Grade) and X16 in the Standard X16 table, all from premium-grade UHMWPE fiber. Weave density runs from 18–24 PPI (economy) through 26–32 PPI (mainstream) to 32–52 PPI (high grade / pro tournament, X8 / X12 / X16), with standard PU or high-density nano coating. Strand count, weave density and coating are chosen per order.

Which strengths are listed for X8 and X16?

High Grade X8 is listed from 0.120 mm (13.0 lb / 5.9 kg) to 0.500 mm (86.0 lb / 39.0 kg); Never Fade X8 from 0.128 to 0.600 mm and Economy X8 from 0.15 to 0.50 mm. Standard X16 is listed from 0.285 mm (60.0 lb / 27.0 kg) to 0.900 mm (254.0 lb / 115.0 kg). Lighter X16 diameters are outside the published table and may be made to order with their own minimum. Send the strengths you want and we confirm availability in writing.

Can you wind retail spools under my brand, not just bulk spools?

Yes. Private-label runs are retail spools with your logo sticker or spool label, from 100 pieces per SKU. Spool length is set per order: our 150 m Pro Grade X8 retail spool is one existing example, and any other length you need is confirmed in the written quote. Braid boxes sized to spool length are shown on the packaging page.

What should I send for a private-label braid quote?

Strand count and grade, the diameters or pound tests, color, coating, retail spool length, quantity per SKU, packaging (label sticker or printed box) and delivery country. With those, the quote comes back as a spec sheet with a per-unit price, not a range.
