Ropes are a traditional type of twisted products with increased breaking load, diameter from 8 to 112mm. They are made of long fibers and have a large thickness.
The raw material for the production of lavsan ropes is polyester fiber with a density of 1.38 g/cm3, known in the world under the following names: lavsan, terylene, dacron, teteron, elan, tergal, tesil. The melting point of polyester fibers is 260В°C.
Lavsan ropes are characterized by resistance to climatic conditions (excellent resistance to UV radiation), very good strength and resistance to abrasion. Thanks to materials and technologies, polyester rope has a very long service life and is practically not affected by the environment: water, sun; does not rot and does not absorb water. Unlike polyamide ropes, they are flexible and soft when wet, and also have low elongation under load. Disadvantages: Average electrification, instability to concentrated and hot alkalis.
Application:
These ropes are very well suited for use in the field of water sports, yachting, shipping (for equipping ships of the sea and river fleet), fishing and the production of sports equipment.
IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER: The safety margin for synthetic fiber ropes should be six times. In other words, it is necessary to limit the working load of the twisted product to 15-17% of the breaking load. The maximum permissible load should be no more than 2/3 of the breaking load. Compliance with this requirement will dramatically reduce the risk in your work and significantly increase the service life of the ropes.
All our ropes are manufactured using the"Double Twist" technology.
The "Double Twist" technology means that during manufacture, each of the three strands that make up the rope is twisted from thin three-strand ropes (cables), which, in turn, are twisted from thinner threads. That is, the rope consists of strands, and each strand from thinner threads. With conventional "rope" technology, the threads in the strand are not twisted, but folded. Double Twist technology increases the strength of the rope, increases wear resistance, and improves its appearance.
