Kevlar Rope
Here you will find our Kevlar ropes, an excellent choice for applications requiring high strength and durability. Kevlar is an aramid fiber known for its exceptional strength, heat resistance and abrasion resistance.
And what makes kevlar rope unique is its combination of strength and heat resistance.
Another characteristic of kevlar is the yellow color of the fibers.
What is Kevlar Rope?
Kevlar rope is made from aramid fibers, which are among the strongest synthetic fibers. Kevlar is lightweight, but offers strength far greater than that of steel. It is often used in applications that require extreme strength and resistance to abrasion, such as aerospace, defense and heavy industry.
Kevlar ropes are particularly good at withstanding tensile force, abrasion and heat, making them ideal for climbing, rescue operations, pulling heavy loads, and even building strength-testing systems.
Versions
In the range of kevlar ropes, we have 2 versions:
Pure/pure kevlar
Kevlar with polyester sheath
The pure kevlar rope is 100% kevlar and is flat braided. We only have this rope in 3 mm diameter, but on request we can make other diameters
The kevlar with polyester comes in the version with black sheath. This makes for a nice supple, round rope.
The black polyester is highly UV resistant and the core is kevlar.
Advantages of Kevlar Rope
Exceptional Strength.
Kevlar rope has extremely high tensile strength, meaning it is capable of carrying heavy loads without breaking. It is up to five times stronger than steel at equal mass, making it ideal for heavy industrial applications and extreme environments.
Heat resistance
Kevlar is resistant to high temperatures, making it ideal for use in heat-sensitive environments such as aviation, firefighting operations, and even automotive applications.
But in situations where high temperatures are created by friction, kevlar rope really comes into its own.
Lightweight
Kevlar rope is lightweight, which means it is easier to handle than other heavy materials such as steel, without sacrificing strength. This makes it an excellent choice for applications such as rope for winch systems and rescue rope.
Abrasion resistance
Thanks to Kevlar's exceptional abrasion resistance, this rope can retain its properties even under heavy use. This makes it a durable choice for all types of applications, from heavy industrial tasks to sports and recreational activities.
Weather resistance
Kevlar rope is resistant to most chemicals, UV rays and the effects of salt water, making it suitable for marine and outdoor environments.
Applications of Kevlar Rope
Our Kevlar ropes are versatile and can be used for many different applications:
- Rope for Industrial Applications: Kevlar rope is suitable for use in industries such as mining, oil and gas, and for pulling heavy loads.
- Kite Rope: Kevlar is used in kite ropes for its strength and ability to perform under pressure without breaking.
