Rope and cord products have been with us for thousands of years. They are useful in a practically unlimited number of applications. Traditional rope and cord are made from natural fibers, not surprisingly, and it remains useful for many reasons. But in the modern world, greater workloads and advanced applications make modern rope and cord materials a necessity.

The Advantages of Synthetic Fiber Rope

Synthetic fiber rope is superior to Natural Rope in terms of tensile strength, load capacity, and durability, as well as its resistance to decomposition. While natural rope is still useful for many reasons, synthetic fiber ropes offer several advantages natural rope may lack for modern applications, including:

Greater strength: The tensile strength of synthetic rope is far and away much higher than that of any natural fiber rope. For this reason, synthetic fiber ropes are useful in industrial applications where a natural fiber would fail.

Pliancy & Grip: In many cases, ropes made from advanced materials offer better grip and pliancy. More importantly, they offer these properties without damaging load surfaces.

Non-Conductive & Safety: In modern applications, the problem of electrical conductivity makes many forms of rope an unsafe choice. Natural fibers are better conductors, and they more readily absorb water, making them even more conductive. The enhanced strength and reduced conductivity of synthetic fibers make them safer in a wide range of modern applications.

Cost Effective: Where synthetic fiber ropes and cord are the best choice, it is also the more cost-efficient choice. Weaker rope that will fray and break will have to be replaced, as will any goods that are damaged when ropes break.
