SISAL ROPE |
| |
Sisal Ropes are manufactured from
fibres obtained from the leaves of the Agave
Sisalana plant.
Sisal is a tough, versatile fibre and is ideal
for general purpose ropes used in mining,
trucking and general industrial applications.
Sisal Ropes are tough, strong and economical.
Two types are available:
1. Off-white natural fibre ropes suitable
for general purpose applications.
2. Green rot-proofed fibre ropes treated to resist attack by
mildew. |

Strength: Sisal
Ropes are strong when dry, but their
strength is reduced by 10-15% when they
become wet.
Elongation:
Elongation of Sisal 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 Sisal is
low, and as a result Sisal Ropes do not
stretch significantly when under load.
This makes them ideal for applications not
requiring high strength or great
elasticity.
Abrasion Resistance:
Sisal Ropes have good abrasion
characteristics and resist external wear
well.
Specific Gravity:
The specific gravity of Sisal Ropes is
1.38. The rope sinks in water.
Resistance to Chemicals:
Sisal Ropes have good resistance to most
chemicals, and are not affected by
volatile petroleum solvents, mineral oils
and alkalis.
Sensitivity:
Sisal Ropes are sensitive to mineral
acids, paints, detergents, chemical salts
and very humid or very dry atmospheric
conditions. Rot-proofed Sisal Ropes resist
fungal attack. If Sisal Ropes are not
rot-proofed, they are likely to be
attacked by fungi in moist, hot
environments.
Reaction to Flame:
Sisal Ropes ignite when in contact with
flame and burn. They are combustible and
support combustion. 8 Reaction to Water:
Sisal Ropes absorb water readily and the
fibres swell and lose strength when wet.
Storage: Sisal
Ropes should be stored in a cool, well
ventilated, dry store, never in closed
containers. Sisal 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 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 containing
liquids which may leak; and sources of
sparks.
Sisal Ropes should not be stored under
conditions of high heat or excessively
drying atmospheres. Sisal Ropes should
never be dried in front of a fire or
stored near a stove or other sources of
heat. |
