NETS
A wide range of nets is available, the actual material used and the method of construction and mesh size varying with the purpose for which the net is to be used.
For cargo and rubbish nets, manila, sisal or polypropylene rope is used. Nets also have numerous industrial applications, particularly for safety purposes. Many such nets are manufactured from nylon or polyester cord. These are produced to B.S. 3913: 1973. In the case of personnel safety nets, an overlay safety net of smaller mesh is sometimes incorporated to arrest falling objects. Customers are invited to state their precise requirements so that nets of suitable size and material can be made up.

STRAND BRAIDED ROPES

8-Strand Square Braided Ropes have been known to all marine peoples as most suitable ropes for marine usage of mooring and rugging etc.
Thanks to its strong points of high resistance to abrasion and kink under severe condition, 8-Strand Square Braided Ropes are also popular in industrial usage such as logging and its subsidiary usage, as well as marine purpose. To effect better efficency in operation, the ropes can be served with eye (loop) splicing, plain or covered by canvas, PP cloth or rubber etc., according to customers request.
Polypropylene, Nylon, Polyethylene, Manline, Polypropylene Film, Polyester adn Poly-Da-caron Ropes etc., are available for this type.

POLYPROPYLENE NYLON

  1. Polypropylene rope stands up extremely well to repeated stress, bending, flexing and fatigure. It is almost twice as strong as manila rope, yet is rot proof and not damaged by oil, grease, gasoline, or marine growth.

    2. Polypropylene filament in itself is improvious to water and ranks highest of all ropes as an electrical insulator. Polypropylene is a tough rope with excellent abrasion resistance.
  2. Polyethylene Rope is a floating rope like polypropylene but, slightly heavier with slightly less elongation under stress. Polyethylene has high resistance to abrasion. It is resistant to damange by oils, gasoline and chemicals. Excellent for use in industrial and Marine applications.
  3. Nylon Rope excells in its ability to accept heavy shock loads. Ropes made of nylon are one of the strongest and most elastic of the man-made fiber. Nylon Rope will not float as it is heavier than water. It is utilized extensively in marine applications as mooring lines, and in point to point towing. Its general and industrial uses are numerous.

Ropes made from man-made fibres are immune to rot, mildew and marine decay. They handle easily wet or dry, having low water absorption properties. Each material has its own individual peculiarities and characteristics - factors often deciding the precise choice of the cordage selected for any particular duty.
Nylon
The strongest man-made fibre. Exceptional resistance to sustained loading. High energy absorption capacity. Resists alkalis, oils and organic solvents. B.S. 3977: 1966.
Polyester
Size for size, heavier than nylon rope, but strength only slightly less. Of equal strength wet or dry. Resists acids, and unaffected by bleaching agents, organic solvents and oil. B.S. 3758: 1964.
Polypropylene
The lightest man-made fibre rope in the range. Available as fibrillated, monofilament or staple fibre. Highly resistant to acids, alkalis and oils. Can be affected by bleaching agents and some industrial solvents. B.S. 4928: 1973

Manila - Grade 1
A high quality rope made from high grade fibres. A product of the plant Musa Textilis, grown in the Philippines. B.S. 2052: 1965.

Sisal
Sisal is a cheaper hard fibre derived from the plant Agave Sisalona grown extensively in East Africa. Two types of rope are available: Waterproofed - absorbs little water, easier to handle; White Sisal - untreated. Both comply with B.S. 2052: 1965.
