OTS Twaron®

OTS Twaron®

A 12-strand braided rope used in applications where the superlative properties of aramid yarns are needed most. Twaron Aramid yarn provides a unique combination of high strength, low weight and high temperature resistance.

Applications

Mooring line
Electrical engineering rope
Sling rope
High strength rope

Special Properties

High strength and modulus
Low weight
High chemical resistance
No corrosion
High temperature resistance
Very good dimensional stability
Non-conductive and non-magnetic

It is recommended to cover braid the OTS Twaron® rope with a protective jacket to protect the rope from UV rays.
