STROFT GTP type R2

Beschreibung

STROFT GTP type R2

The „R“ stands for „round and tight“. This line is made from Peak UHMWPE fibers using a very special braiding process. Type R12, for example, consists of 300×8 = 2400 individual fibers that are braided together at a very small angle. This produces an almost circular cord cross-section with arrow-like dimples on the surface. In addition to its excellent overall properties, this „round and strong“ special braid has another major advantage that many other so-called „braided“ lines do not have. Namely: with all STROFT GTP lines, a self-clamping spliced loop can be produced, which has a significantly higher load-bearing capacity than all other known knot connections. Types R01 to R06 are extremely fine cords in an actual cross-section range corresponding to diameters of 0.07 to 0.13 mm. A special peak UHMWPE fiber, bundled in strands with only very few individual fibers, makes it possible to enter this range. However, series production on a larger scale is not economical, as there is no larger area of application for these thicknesses. Nevertheless, Stroft is presenting these finest types here, also to show what is technically possible. And perhaps someone is looking for such „spinning threads“ for special applications?
