Marine ropes
Polypropylene ropes
plain or fibrillated tape
This type of rope is characterised by an average abrasion resistance, good strength and good UV radiation resistance
Basic characteristics:
- floatable on water, zero absorption
- resistant in chemically active environments
- excellent insulation capacity
- wide choice of colours
- working temperature - in environments up to 80°C (softening temperature 140°C, melting temperature 170°C)
Use:
- rope for general use, wide utilisation in marine transportation, fishing, industry and civil engineering. More information here.
Packaging:
- plastic spools, coils, minicoils, hanks, etc.
Modifications:
- spliced with eyes
- special lengths
- incorporated components – metallic, plastic (thimbles, hooks, karabiners, etc.)
- colours and colour combinations according to customer wish (for new colours not contained in the colour car a minimum 5-ton order is required)
Certificates:
- this rope has been certified byGermanischer Lloyd
(diameters 6 – 96 mm, types “A” and “L”) - Lloyd´s Register (diameters 18 – 96 mm, type “L”)
