What PowerPro Braided 150yd Green is made of, ingredients and materials
PowerPro Braided 150yd Green is made from braided polyethylene (PE), a thermoplastic polymer commonly used in fishing line because it resists water absorption and offers high tensile strength. Polyethylene itself is chemically inert at room temperature and does not leach additives during typical fishing use. The braided construction provides durability without requiring protective coatings that might introduce additional chemical concerns.
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
UV and thermal degradation of polyethylene
Extended outdoor storage or exposure to direct sunlight can cause the polyethylene to become brittle and fragment, creating microplastics in aquatic environments if disposed improperly. This is a durability and environmental concern rather than a direct consumer toxicity risk.
Microplastic shedding during use
Braided polyethylene can shed microfibers if abraded against rocks, structures, or equipment during fishing; this is an environmental concern and a minor occupational exposure risk for frequent fishers, but not a chemical toxicity hazard.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
Colorant migration or additives in pigmentation
No public record exists of hazardous dyes or heavy metals in PowerPro green-colored fishing line. Standard polyethylene colorants are typically benign, and fishing line is not a direct ingestion or skin-contact product during normal use.
Chemical additives in polyethylene formulation
PowerPro has not disclosed the specific additives (UV stabilizers, slip agents, antioxidants) used in this line. Standard polyethylene additives are generally recognized as low concern in non-food applications, but ingredient transparency is absent.
How is this PFAS grade calculated?
The brand's record and disclosure
PowerPro is a fishing-line manufacturer with no public record of safety recalls or hazard disclosures related to this product line. The brand has made no public statements about PFAS treatment or chemical composition transparency. No third-party safety certifications or independent testing results are readily available for this specific SKU.
How it compares in its category
Braided polyethylene fishing line is a standard category product; PowerPro is a mid-tier recreational brand. Alternatives include monofilament nylon (which carries similar chemical inertness but slightly higher water absorption) and fluorocarbon lines (which pose higher cost but similar safety profiles). This product sits in the typical performance and safety range for consumer fishing line.
If you buy it
Store the spool indoors in cool, dry conditions to prevent UV degradation of the polyethylene, which can reduce strength over time but does not create chemical release. Replace the line annually if used regularly, or when you notice visible fraying, reduced strength, or discoloration. Avoid contact with hot objects or direct heat during storage. Dispose of spent line responsibly rather than discarding into waterways.
