Polyester rope (twisted)

Ropes, cords and ropes made of polyester impress with their high breaking loads and low elongation values. Other advantages are very good abrasion resistance and very good resistance to sunlight and UV radiation. Polyester ropes have a good grip, are easy to knot and are very resistant to the effects of weather and salt water. The material does not become brittle or harden as a result of normal rope aging or the effects of weather.

Polyester twisted rope is heavy compared to other synthetic fiber ropes. With a density of approx. 1.38 kg/dm³, polyester ropes cannot float but sink under water. Polyester fibers have minimal water absorption. However, this does not reduce their breaking load. Due to their construction, the ropes are more prone to unwanted snagging.
