Twisted ropes 3 & 4 Strands

Twisted ropes have developed over a long period of time with the only real evolution being the material used that has changed from natural fibers to man – made (artificial) fibers.

Twisted ropes have developed over a long period of time with the only real evolution being the material used that has changed from natural fibers to man – made (artificial) fibers. This change of fiber gave the construction higher strength and longer life. Today, twisted ropes are preferred for most simple applications because of their flexibility, knot making ability, splicing and easy handling in small diameters. The 4 – strand ropes have a slightly firmer lay than the 3 – strand ones, since they are round ropes with more outside surface, more traction on sheaves and
objects.

D.KORONAKIS S.A. produces twisted ropes from the following materials:

NYLON
• High tenacity yarns
• High elongation characteristics
• High stretch – high strength fibers
• UV resistant
• Sinkable ropes

POLYESTER
• Excellent Fatigue life
• Increased service life
• Low stretch – high strength fibers
• Excellent weather & abrasion resistance
• Sinkable ropes

OCEANIC
• Flat filaments, a mixture of polypropylene – polyethylene co-extruded
• One of the strongest floating ropes
• Reduced friction internal and external
• Increased flexibility
• Easy handling
• UV resistant

POLYPROPYLENE
• They can be of split film or monofilaments twines
• Light weight
• Waterproof
• Low stretching at work load
• Abrasion resistant
• All strands of the rope can be double twisted
• Floating ropes

SIZAL & MANILA
• Made of high quality natural fibers
• Hygroscopic
• Friendly for environment
•Excellent weather & abrasion resistance
• Ideal for pilot & accommodation ladders

  • Fishing – Aquaculture
  • Commodity ropes
NOTES

1. Materials: All the above mentioned materials form yarns twisted into strands and made exclusively of pure raw materials.
2. Diameter: The size of all ropes must always be considered in approximate terms for obvious reasons and is actually determined by Linear Density.
3. Linear Density: Is considered standard and in the metric system is measured in Kilotex (ktex) that is grams/meter or kilograms/1000 meters length.

All ropes have extra U.V. protection additives, are made of high quality materials and are properly tested and certified. Twisted ropes have different applications such as in agriculture, transport, gardening, household, decoration, sports, shipping, fishing etc. It is up to the user to choose the right rope suited for the destined application.
