Combination ropes are mostly used in the fishing and aquaculture industries, as well as applications such as children playgrounds, etc. A combination rope is a rope structure consisting of a wire rope core and a synthetic rope braided coating.
Combination ropes can be produced in various constructions: 6×6, 6×7, 6×8, 6×12, 6×19.
The construction depends on the diameter of the combination rope and the flexibility and rigidness requirements. The weight depends on the construction, the diameter of the individual wires used, and the type of coating. The tensile strength can be 160 or 180 kp/mm2.
The core can be fiber (FC) or wire (IWRC). The coating can be of polypropylene, polysteel, or nylon. Different coloring is available with the standards being Polypropylene Blue, Polysteel Green and Nylon White.
