CLGR® offers a comprehensive range of ropes, including natural ropes like jute twist sisal/manila/hemp ropes; synthetic ropes such as HMPE (POWERNEEMA), high tenacity polyester-polyolefin (PP/PE) mixed ropes, polyolefin (PP/PE) ropes, polypropylene monofilament/multifilament ropes, and high tenacity nylon (polyamide) ropes; as well as combination ropes with steel cores or lead/chain cores, and specialized types like double braided ropes, twist braided ropes (3-4-6 strand), round rope heavy-lift slings with jackets, and mooring tails, catering to diverse needs in fishing, mooring, lifting, and more.
The production of synthetic ropes involves advanced manufacturing techniques that ensure durability, strength, and resistance to environmental stressors. Below is a brief breakdown of how the most widely used synthetic ropes are produced:
Nylon Rope: Nylon fibers are created through a polymerization process that combines specific chemical compounds. The resulting material is melted, extruded into long filaments, and then cooled. These filaments are twisted or braided to create a rope that is both strong and elastic.
Polyester Rope: Polyester is made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), a type of plastic. The PET is melted and extruded into fibers, which are then drawn out to increase strength and flexibility. These fibers are woven or twisted into ropes that are resistant to UV damage and abrasion.
Promanila Rope: Promanila is crafted from polypropylene, a synthetic resin. Polypropylene pellets are melted and spun into fibers. These fibers are then twisted or braided to replicate the look and feel of natural manila rope while offering superior resistance to moisture and rot.
These processes ensure that synthetic ropes are consistent in quality, with properties tailored for demanding applications.
