COTTON ROPE |
| |
Cotton Ropes
are specialty ropes manufactured from cotton
fibres which give them excellent softness and
handling properties.
Cotton Ropes are designed for use in specialised
industrial applications (requiring low strength
and resistance to alkalis), as decorative items in
the apparel and textile industry and in the
manufacture of harnesses. Cotton Ropes can be dyed
readily. |

Strength: Cotton is
the only natural fibre whose strength
increases slightly when wet.
Elongation: At
breaking load, Cotton Ropes elongate by 5-10%.
Energy Absorption:
The energy absorption capacity of Cotton Ropes
is low. The ropes are ideal for uses where
soft handling properties, low strength and
elongation are required.
Abrasion Resistance:
Cotton Ropes, because of their soft handling
properties, have excellent abrasion resistance
and wear well.
Specific Gravity:
The specific gravity of Cotton Rope is 1.54.
Resistance to Chemicals:
Cotton Ropes are resistant to weak acids,
organic solvents and alkalis.
Sensitivity: Cotton
Ropes are decomposed by sulphuric acid and are
sensitive to other acids in general. Alkalis
swell the fibre but do not damage it.
Reaction to Flame:
Cotton Ropes burn readily, are combustible and
support combustion.
Storage: Cotton Rope
should be stored in a cool, well ventilated,
dry store, never in closed containers.
Cotton Ropes should be stacked on wooden
gradings or racks, or special coil pegs on
stands. They should not be exposed to the
weather or direct sunlight.
When storing Cotton Ropes, ensure that they
are stored away from: racks of heavy objects
whose inadvertent fall may result in damage to
the rope; chemicals and other agents;
containers that contain liquids which may
leak; and sources of sparks.
Cotton Ropes should not be stored under
conditions of high heat or excessively drying
atmospheres.
Cotton Ropes should never be dried in front of
a fire or stored near a stove or other sources
of heat. |
