FULL LOCKED COIL ROPE WITH HDPE (FLCH)
The High Density Polyethylene sheathing provides an additional protection system to the cable. Thanks to the available full range of color, the HDPE layer can be used for increasing the visibility and also for aesthetical reason.

Teufelberger-Redaelli Full Locked Coil HDPE (FLCH) ropes are manufactured using a combination of helically wound, hot-dip galvanised, high-strength steel round wires and interlocking Z-shaped wires.
The outer layers of Z-shaped wires are generally spun in opposite directions around a central core of round wires. Each individual wire is tested and verified for tensile strength, ductility, elongation at fracture, bending, torsional properties and adhesion of zinc coating in accordance with EN 10264 and EN 12385-10. The external plastic HDPE coating is applied by a continuous extrusion process and is closely monitored under factory-controlled conditions. HDPE thickness is based on the nominal diameter of FLC cables.
Main properties: excellent axial stiffness, optimum strength to weight ratio, excellent fatigue resistance, torque balanced, less required maintenance during the lifetime, UV stability against solar radiation, weathering resistance, available in full spectrum of colors
