T-100


View Larger Image

Product Description:
100% Technora core with a polyester jacket. The strength member core of this rope yields high tensile strength and has very low stretch and creep. Additionally, Technora has very good resistance to heat making T-100 an ideal choice in applications where heat persists.

Features:

Very high strength
Very low stretch
Very high melting point
Very low creep

Applications:

Any high strength, low stretch application

Colors Available:

White

Lengths Available:

1500'
1200'
900'
600'

Sunlight/UV:
Very little degradation from sunlight. Can be used outside over long term if inspected regularly.

Chemicals:
Good resistance to most minerals / organics, acids, weak alkalis, bleaches and other oxidizing agents and most solvents.

Heat:
Polyester melts at 480°F with progressive strength loss above 300°F. Technora decomposes at 900º F.

Dielectrics:
Good resistance to the passage of electrical current. However, dirt, surface contaminants, water entrapment, and the like can significantly affect dielectric properties. Extreme caution should be exercised any time a rope is in the proximity of live circuits.

Sheaves:
Recommended sheave diameter to rope diameter is 16:1.

Working Loads:
No blanket safe working load (SWL) recommendations can be made for any line because SWL's must be calculated based on application, conditions of use, and potential danger to personnel among other considerations. It is recommended that the end user establish working loads and safety factors based on best practices established by the end user's industry; by professional judgment and personal experience; and after thorough assessment of all risks. The SWL is a guideline for the use of a rope in good condition for non-critical applications and should be reduced where life, limb, or valuable property is involved, or in cases of exceptional service such as shock loading, sustained loading, severe vibration, etc. The Cordage Institute specifies that the SWL of a rope shall be determined by dividing the Minimum Tensile Strength of the rope by a safety factor. The safety factor ranges from 5 to 12 for non-critical uses and is typically set at 15 for life lines.
