Fiber Structures
TEUFELBERGER used different fiber structures that support the characteristics of the rope.
Monofilaments
The yarns consist of one single element of a relatively large diameter and are braided into a rope.
Characteristics:
- Very good abrasion resistance
- Low dirt take-up
- tiff structure
Textured fibers
A certain degree of disorder is caused in a formerly straight bundle of synthetic fibers to generate characteristics which are usually seen only on natural fibers.
Characteristics:
- Good grip
- High elasticity
- Traditional look and feel
Multifilaments
A bundle of thin fibers processed into twines which then are braided into a rope. The majority of fiber ropes follow this basic design.
Characteristics:
- High flexibility
- High tensile strength
Staple fiber
This type of material consists of spun pieces of short filaments instead of a bundle of long ones.
Characteristics:
- Excellent grip
- Soft handling
