POLYESTER ROPE |
| |
Polyester Ropes
are manufactured from Polyester fibre, the second
strongest of the conventional man-made fibres
available to the rope maker.
Polyester Ropes have good strength and extension
characteristics. They are easy to handle and knot,
and are used in a wide range of general and
industrial applications.
Polyester Ropes are available in the full range of
3-strand hawser laid and 8-strand plaited (square)
rope construction. |

Strength: Polyester
Ropes have high strength which remains
constant, whether the rope is wet or dry.
Elongation:
Approximately 35% extension causes rupture,
irrespective of the rope being wet or dry.
Energy Absorption:
Polyester Ropes have high energy absorption
capacity, and can absorb repeated shock loads
of a high order. Polyester Ropes high
strength, good elongation and recovery
characteristics are second only to Nylon
Ropes.
Abrasion Resistance:
Polyester Ropes have exceptional resistance to
abrasion.
Specific Gravity:
Polyester Ropes have a specific gravity of
1.38
Resistance to Chemicals:
Polyester Ropes are resistant to organic and
mineral acids, oxidising agents and diluted
alkalis.
Sensitivity:
Polyester Ropes are sensitive to hot and/or
concentrated alkalis such as caustic soda and
ammonia. They are also sensitive to
concentrated sulphuric acid.
Reaction to Flame:
Polyester Ropes will not support combustion.
They melt at 260oC and leave a hard ball. The
fumes have a strong aromatic smell.
Reaction to Water:
Polyester Ropes are not affected by, and do
not absorb, water.
Storage: Polyester
Ropes should be stored in a cool, well
ventilated dry store, never in closed
containers. Polyester 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 Polyester Ropes, ensure that they
are stored away from: racks of heavy objects
whose inadvertent fall may result in damage to
the rope; from chemicals and other agents;
containers of liquid which may leak; and
sources of sparks.
Polyester Ropes should not be stored under
conditions of high heat or excessively drying
atmospheres.
Polyester Ropes should never be dried in front
of a fire or stored near a stove or other
sources of heat. |
