More Information
Summary:A rope structure of the present invention comprises a plurality of first yarns and a plurality of second yarns. The first yarns are formed of at least one material selected from the group of materials comprising HMPE, LCP, Aramids, and PBO, have a breaking elongation of approximately 2%-5%, and have a tenacity of approximately 25-45 gpd. The second yarns are formed of at least one material selected from the group of materials comprising polyolefin, polyethylene, polypropylene, and blends or copolymers of the two, have a breaking elongation of approximately 2%-12%, and have a tenacity of approximately 6-22 gpd. The first and second yarns are combined to form rope sub-components. The rope sub-components comprise approximately 20-80% by weight of the first yarns.
