  2. Rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope

    Rope may be constructed of any long, stringy, fibrous material (e.g., rattan, a natural material), but generally is constructed of certain natural or synthetic fibres. [1] [2] [3] Synthetic fibre ropes are significantly stronger than their natural fibre counterparts, they have a higher tensile strength, they are more resistant to rotting than ropes created from natural fibres, and they can be ...

    DuPont made public in 1938 that their company had invented nylon. [1] This new invention was the first synthetic fiber, fabrics that are commonly used in textiles today. [2] In 1939, DuPont began marketing nylon monofilament fishing lines; however, braided Dacron lines remained the most used and popular fishing line for the next two decades, as early monofilament line was very stiff or "wiry ...

  4. Kernmantle rope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernmantle_rope

    For example, rope used in caving is generally exposed to increased abrasion, so the mantle is woven more tightly than rope used in climbing or rappelling. However, the resulting rope is cumbersome and difficult to tie knots in. Kernmantle construction may be used for both static and dynamic ropes. Static ropes are designed to allow relatively ...

    Eye splice in single braided (hollow braid) rope; Eye splice in double braided rope with polyester or nylon fiber core; Eye splice in rope with braided cover and a laid core; Eyes splice in rope with braided cover and parallel fibers in the core; Eye splice in double braided rope with a high-performance fiber core (e.g. Dyneema, Vectran)

  6. Multifilament fishing line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifilament_fishing_line

    Multifilament line, also referred to as The Super Lines, is a type of fishing line. [1] It is a braided line which is made up of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), a specialty polyethylene polymer that makes an extremely thin line for its strength.

  7. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

    Polypropylene, highly colorfast, is widely used in manufacturing carpets, rugs and mats to be used at home. [47] Polypropylene is widely used in ropes, distinctive because they are light enough to float in water. [48] For equal mass and construction, polypropylene rope is similar in strength to polyester rope.
