In the production of our Products we consistently focus on quality and performance - and that begins with the selection of the right Yarnsbecause selecting the right yarn material is a decisive factor for the performance and durability of technical textiles such as our rubber ropes. One of the four specialised yarn types that we primarily use is aramid.
Aramid is lightweight and durable and is characterised by its extreme tear and cut resistance or its temperature and flame resistance, depending on which type of aramid is used. We mainly use the two main types Meta-Aramid and Para-aramid. These differ in their molecular structureswhich is the reason for the different properties.

Both species are also characterised by the following common properties:
Aramide offers many advantageous properties when used as a braiding material, which are ideal for many applications. Meta-aramids are primarily used when protection against penetration is relevant. Para-aramids, on the other hand, are preferred when protection against heat and flames is required.
But you don't have to stick with just one yarn for your elastic cord: the combination of of different yarns by means of double braidingthe properties of different yarn materials can be combined with each other.
