DOUBLE BRAIDED

Double braided (two in one braidline) ropes are designed from 100% high tenacity multifilament fibre. The rope is made by braiding a sheat over a braided hollow core. Double braided rope offers size for size greater strength than conventional 3- or 8-strand ropes. The central core contributes to the major part of the breaking strength. The outer sheat completes the strength and garanties the abrasion resistance of the rope. This special process of balanced twist and braiding results in a rope with superior features.

Ideal rope for use on hauling winches due to a bigger contact surface and perfect spooling on storage drums.

  • Excellent weight/strength ratio
  • Compact splice
  • Flexible
  • Abrasion resistant
  • Torque free

Construction

Two in one braidline
Polypropylene multifilament on request

Properties

Nylon (Polyamide)

Relative density 1,14
Temperature resistance Can be used below 0°C
