Ropes and cables

Twaron® and Technora® are used to reinforce ropes and cables wherever safety and protection are essential, in the oil and transportation industries and elsewhere. Their unique properties give Twaron and Technora a number of significant advantages over other synthetic yarns and steels in ropes and cables. Applications range from mooring cables, hoisting cables, cables for deep-sea applications, ropes for installing high-voltage cables, elevator cables and lines for para-gliders.

 

Various types of Twaron and Technora are available to reinforce ropes and cables. The main differences between these types involve mechanical properties, such as modulus of elasticity, elongation at break and creep. Twaron is also an outstanding material for ropes and cables that need to meet specific demanding requirements, such as in offshore and electronic settings.
