MANILA ROPE |
| |
Manila Ropes
are manufactured from fibres obtained from the
leaves of the abacca plant (Musa textilis).
Manila is the strongest of the vegetable (natural)
fibres and results in hard wearing, low stretch,
general purpose ropes, which are superior to Sisal
Ropes in their resistance to weathering, fungal
attack and moisture.
Kinnears Manila Ropes are suitable for use in
marine applications, shipping, mining, and general
industrial applications, particularly suited to
lifting. |

Strength: Manila
Ropes are strong when dry, but their
strength is marginally reduced when they
become wet. The loss of strength when wet
is less than that of Sisal Ropes.
Elongation:
Elongation of Manila Ropes varies
depending on whether they are dry or wet.
When dry, 13% extension causes rupture.
When wet, 15% extension causes rupture.
Energy Absorption:
The energy absorption capacity of Manila
is low, and as a result Manila Ropes do
not stretch significantly when under load.
This makes them ideal for applications not
requiring high strength or great
elasticity.
Abrasion Resistance:
Manila Ropes have good abrasion
characteristics and resist external wear
well.
Specific Gravity:
The specific gravity of Manila Ropes is
1.38. The rope sinks in water.
Resistance to Chemicals:
Manila Ropes have good resistance to most
chemicals, and are not affected by
volatile petroleum solvents, mineral oils
and alkalis.
Sensitivity:
Manila Ropes are sensitive to mineral
acids, paints, detergents, chemical salts
and very humid or very dry atmospheric
conditions. Manila Rope is prone to fungal
attack but their resistance to this is
higher than Sisal Rope.
Reaction to Flame:
Manila Ropes burn readily, are combustible
and support combustion.
Storage: Manila
Rope should be stored in a cool, well
ventilated, dry store, never in closed
containers.
Manila 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 Manila 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.
Manila Ropes should not be stored under
conditions of high heat or excessively
drying atmospheres. Manila Ropes should
never be dried in front of a fire or
stored near a stove or other sources of
heat. |
