Hi-Tech Rope Information
General Information on availability of special order rope. ---
In recent years, developments with synthetic fibers such as KEVLAR - SPECTRA- VECTRAN - DYNEEMA and selected others have lead to the development and production of Hi-Performance - Hi-Tech ropes. Today, these synthetic fibers are used by leading rope manufacturers for the possible replacement of conventional steel wire rope because of the weight to strength ratio. High performance ropes are used in marine, oilfield, offshore, shipping, mooring, construction, and aerospace applications.
Gator Supply Company, a major distributor for Hi-Performance ropes can assist you with our sales personnel and factory personnel for choosing the right type of rope and materials for your application.
Remember, your Hi-Performance ropes i.e. SPECTRA, KEVLAR, etc. are not stock items. Generally, the manufacturers have a lead time for production and shipping of 7-21 days after receipt of orders. These estimates for production and shipping are determined by customer requirements - type of material needed for the application, diameter and length of material, factory schedules and factory work schedules. Please provide as much information to your sales representative on the initial inquiry on any Hi-Performance rope to ensure expedient deliveries.
KEVLAR - A synthetic fiber primarily used in ropes for high heat resistance, low elasticity and high strength.
SPECTRA - A synthetic fiber which is one of the worlds strongest yarns. It provides very high strength to its weight ratio, low moisture absorption, and has excellent abrasion resistance.
VECTRAN - A synthetic fiber primarily used in ropes for high strength and low elasticity. Good abrasion resistance, high resistance to heat, highest strength to weight ratio of any fiber.
DYNEEMA - A synthetic fiber providing high abrasion resistance, very low elongation, excellent flex fatigue resistance and low resistance to heat.
HMWPE - High molecular weight polyethylene fibers.
UHMWPE - Ultra high molecular weight polyetheylene fibers.
