High Performance Cordage and Webbing
Gavin Smith
Description
High performance cordage and webbing products come in many different shapes, sizes, and materials from ropes, twine, yarn, threads, and webbing products. We use high strength Technora UHMWPE synthetic fibre ropes, 4 ply cotton ropes, nylon, polypropylene, polyester ropes, nets and webbing.
How it's made
Ropes are constructed for the intended purpose and we select the material type and construction method to suit. Materials used for our products include ropes and webbing made from UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) as well as high strand count and high twist cotton rope and tubular webbing. Nylon, Polypropylene and other blended fibres are also used in our production.
Uses
High performance ropes and webbing are chosen for their specific qualities. Stunt riggers and aerial riggers have unique demands when it comes to cordage and webbing selection. When a rope is required to have low elongation, be buoyant, have good splicing and handling qualities and tolerate high heat and UV conditions we select the fibre and construction type to suit. When a rope needs good abrasion resistance, and have high strength and low elongation such as for high speed running rigging on winches then there will be a rope specifically suited for those conditions. As you can appreciate not one rope will do it all.
