Kevlar Braided Ropes
Novabraid Kevlar Braided Ropes are available in three varieties to meet the needs of industrial, recreational, and high performance applications. KevTec-12 offers the high strength, high temperature characteristics needed for use in industrial, aerospace, and machine operations in an easy to splice, low stretch 12 strand construction. PolyKev is a double braided construction that adds an abrasion resistant, UV stable 48 carrier polyester cover braided over a 12 strand Kevlar core and is suitable for high strength applications such as Hot Air Balloon control lines, circus ropes, and jobs requiring a moderate level of heat resistance. PolyKev Plus contains a flame retardant coating applied to the polyester cover which minimizes flame propagation and is suitable for interior constructions such a hanging artwork, rope partitions, and surface coverings requiring high strength and low stretch.
