      Polyester

      Polyester is a polymer that is melted in granular form under the influence of thermal conditions in a spinning machine, pressed through a spinneret and converted into filaments (= melt spinning).

      No chemicals are used in this process. The fibers are then further processed into a twisted or braided rope.

      Properties

      • Synthetic rope, non-biodegradable
      • Strong and durable
      • Heavy rope
      • Flexible, smooth and stays that way

      • (16-fold) braided, braided spun or braided and impregnated
      • High breaking strength, approximately as strong as polypropylene
      • High wear resistance, slightly less than polyamide
      • Little stretch (± 10%)
      • Absorbs moisture and sinks (density 1.37 g/cm³), wet rope has the same breaking strength as dry rope. Does not rot, shrink, or stiffen.
      • Best UV resistant synthetic rope
      • Extremely heat resistant: melts from 250°C
      • Resistant to acids, not to bases
