Rope Services Direct is able to sell a number of different types of braided rope. Our braid on braid nylon rope is ideal for docking and marine use. Similarly, our braided polyester rope is popular with sailors for its softness on the hands. Also for its ability to cope well in wet conditions without rotting and abrasion.
Our solid braided white polyester rope is ideal for use in starter pull cords and also in window cords. White polyester braided rope is very popular in the boating industry. This is due to its ability to handle shocks and its minimal stretch capabilities.
There are many benefits to using braided rope. Braided ropes come in 2 types, in single or double braided (also known as braid on braid). The ropes are constructed from a number of different strands that have been weaved together.
Single braided rope is extremely strong and can so can be used for lifting operations, as well as in counterweight systems. Braid on braid is thicker and subsequently stronger.
Given the strong and durable nature of this equipment, it is even used for emergency life-saving operations such as rescue rope.
Nylon is a type of synthetic polymer, and you may be familiar with it as being the primary material in many items of clothing. It’s a man-made material that is thin and flexible material, but loses nothing when it comes to durability and toughness. It also resists moisture, sunlight and chemicals, and is great at absorbing shock loads. Nylon is stretchy which means that it will return to its normal shape when un-loaded.
Polyester is also a man-made synthetic polymer that is also highly durable and weather-resistant, although generally less so than nylon. For that reason, you’ll typically see nylon more often being used outdoors. But that also means nylon tends to come with a higher price tag. Another benefit that polyester itself offers is that it offers better heat resistance.
Both our polyester and nylon braided ropes have been manufactured from chemicals which have been superheated, creating a chemical reaction, resulting in the desired product.
Using our onsite facilities, we can manufacture equipment of various lengths and diameters, and so the prices will change depending on your specifications. Please refer to our contact details below to enquire about ordering braided rope.
