Ropes Cables

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The document discusses the increasing demand for durable ropes and cables in industries such as mining and offshore. Key challenges include longer lifespans, heavier weight lifting, and greater depth reach, necessitating efficient and advanced technologies.

Material Advantages
Teijin Aramid's para-aramids, Twaron and Technora, offer significant benefits over traditional materials like steel. These include a long lifespan, low weight, high efficiency, low maintenance, good heat stability, and long-term dimensional stability.

Surface Treatments
To optimize the benefits of Twaron and Technora, various surface treatments can be applied. Protective treatments, such as marine finishes, enhance fatigue life in wet conditions. Functionality-adding treatments, like waterblocking, eliminate the need for additional water protection.

Collaboration and Customization
Teijin Aramid collaborates with partners to find effective solutions for different rope and cable structures, whether parallel, braided, or laid, across various industries.

Applications
Twaron is ideal for static applications requiring high modulus and low creep, while Technora excels in dynamic applications due to its good fatigue life and resistance to corrosion, heat, chemicals, and seawater.

Main Applications
Twaron and Technora are used in seismic/geophysical cables, antenna cables, vessel mooring lines, fishing lines, lifting slings, emergency ropes for firefighters, and paragliding ropes.

Disclaimer
The document concludes with a disclaimer about the liability and the potential for changes in technical data based on new developments.

Catalog excerpts

Enduring strength and reliability Demanding market There is increasing demand for ropes and cables that can stand up to tough conditions. In the mining and offshore industry, key issues are longer lifespans, lifting heavier weights and reaching greater depths. As a result, there is a need for greater efficiencies and enabling technologies, putting even more pressure on ropes and cables. Our para-aramids Twaron and Technora have a proven track record of helping to meet these demands. With a unique combination of properties, Twaron and Technora have major advantages over more traditional materials such as steel. At Teijin Aramid we try to find the optimal solution by co-creating with our partners.

A unique combination Ropes and cables are widely used in the mining, offshore, and leisure industries. There are basically two main types of ropes and cables: those that are designed for static applications and those that are designed for dynamic applications. In contrast with static and (semi)-static applications, ropes are bent (over sheaves) in dynamic applications. Teijin Aramid is uniquely able to provide para-aramids that are suitable for both static and dynamic applications. Static applications Twaron is the best choice where the highest possible modulus is required. It is therefore particularly...
