Plastic rope is made from plastic materials and used in many industries. It is popular due to its durability. Common types of plastic rope include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, and nylon.
Types and Features of Plastic Ropes
1. Polypropylene Rope
– Light and floats on water
– Good chemical resistance
– Low abrasion resistance
2. Polyethylene Rope
– Strong abrasion resistance
– Excellent UV resistance
– Heavier than polypropylene, does not float
3. Polyester Rope
– High strength and abrasion resistance
– Excellent UV resistance
– Low water absorption
4. Nylon(Polyamide) Rope
– Very strong and elastic
– Good abrasion and UV resistance
– Loses strength when wet
How Plastic Rope is Made
1. Preparing Raw Materials
First, choose the right raw materials. Common ones include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, and nylon. Each has unique properties.
2. Extrusion Molding
Next, melt the plastic in an extruder. The melted plastic forms a continuous thread. This thread is the base of the rope.
3. Cooling and Stretching
Cool the extruded threads in water. Then, stretch them to increase strength and toughness. This process aligns the plastic molecules.
4. Braiding or Twisting
Now, weave or twist the threads into ropes. Braided ropes are flexible and wear-resistant. Twisted ropes are stronger and more compact.
5. Setting and Testing
After braiding or twisting, set the rope to stabilize its shape and size. Then, test the rope’s quality. This includes strength, abrasion, and UV resistance tests.
6. Packaging and Shipping
Finally, cut and package the ropes according to customer needs. Common packaging forms are coils, bundles, and reels. The ropes are now ready for shipment.
