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.
