Drisse polyester - Âme parallèle ***DESTOCKAGE***

Many natural fibres are used to make rope:

• hemp
• cotton
• sisal
• jute
• linen
• coconut fibre

The strongest material is hemp. The most used materials in decoration are cotton and jute.

• Polypropylene
• Textured polypropylene (synthetic hemp)
• Polyester
• Nylon (Polyamide)
• Polyethylene
• Steel
• Latex

The breaking strength of a rope varies according to its raw material, construction, density, and diameter.

Download our comparison of the breaking resistance of all our natural and synthetic ropes from 2mm to 40mm!

The tensile strength is the tensile capacity of a new rope when it is new, static, straight, knot-free and splicing-free. A tolerance of +/- 7% is always applied for the breaking resistance of a rope. For safety, no more than 80% of the breaking load of a rope when it is new should be used.

Expressed in KG, it refers to the tension capacity at standstill (weight); while expressed in decanewton (DaN), it refers to the tension capacity in motion (weight x speed). The use of a rope reduces its breaking resistance.

The main factors that attenuate a rope’s strength are: moisture, UV rays, heat, frost, abrasion, knots, splicing and chemical agents.

Anti UV treatment

To stay intact in the face of prolonged exposure to the sun, our synthetics are treated to resist UV.

Better resistance to weather

Rain, snow, sea water... Our synthetic ropes are designed to last in the face of moisture and corrosion.

Longer life

The synthetic rope is suitable for long-term decoration of your exterior. You can choose the synthetic hemp rope for a natural effect guaranteed.

Polyester ropes have excellent abrasion resistance, very good knot holding and low elongation.

Polyester rope is water repellent and do not lose their strength when wet. It is non-floating. It is resistant to moisture.

Density: 1.38

Polyester has excellent UV resistance. It is ideal for long-term outdoor exposure.

Polyester fiber is resistant to mites, bacteria, mold, mineral and organic acids, oxidants and diluted alkalis.

It is sensitive to strong alkalis, some phenols, benzyl acetate and nitrobenzene.

The thermal properties of polyester ropes are as follows: 

• Critical temperature: ± 180°C
• Melting temperature: ±  260°C
• Smell of hot oil with flame, black smoke
• Flame-retardant
