BRAIDED NYLON-AND POLYESTER ROPES



POLYESTER AND NYLON ROPES ARE THE STRONGEST AMONG SYNTHETIC ROPES. DUE TO THE EXCELLENT CHARACTERISTICS THESE ROPES ARE USED UNDER HEAVY CIRCUMSTANCES (SUCH AS MOORING TAILS). THE CONSTRUCTION IS ALWAYS IN MULTIFILAMENT FIBRE THAT MAKES THEM FEEL SOFT. THE BASIC COLOUR IS WHITE, BOTH ROPES ARE ROTPROOFED AND HAVE A VERY GOOD ABRASION RESISTANCE.

CONSTRUCTION AND PUT UP

PROPERTIES

NYLON:
RELATIVE
DENSITY 		1.14
TEMPERATURE
RESISTANCE 		CAN BE USED BELOW 0°C
MELTING POINT 250°C
UV
RESISTANCE 		GOOD - COMPLETELY STABILISED
ELONGATION BREAKING STRETCH OF ABOUT 43%.
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH STRETCH, THE ROPE STORES A LOT OF ENERGY - SECURITY OF PEOPLE MUST BE GUARDED
FLEXIBILITY SOFT AND FLEXIBLE GETS HARDER DURING USE
CHEMICAL
RESISTANCE 		GOOD AGAINST ALCALIS - LESS AGAINST ACIDS

 POLYESTER:
RELATIVE
DENSITY 		1.38
TEMPERATURE
RESISTANCE 		FLEXIBLE TO -40°C
MELTING POINT 260°C
UV
RESISTANCE 		GOOD - COMPLETELY STABILISED
ELONGATION BREAKING STRETCH OF ABOUT 19%.
WET OR DRY



FLEXIBILITY REMAINS FLEXIBLE - DOESN'T ABSORB WATER
CHEMICAL
RESISTANCE 		GOOD EXCEPT AGAINST ALCALIS
