What are the key differences between various draw rope materials, such as polypropylene, polyester, and anti-twisting steel wire ropes?

2025-08-15

Answer: Selecting the correct draw rope material is crucial for the safety and efficiency of your project. At Ningbo Changshi, we offer a range of materials, each with unique advantages:

  • Polypropylene Rope: An excellent choice for lighter underground cable pulling. It is lightweight, resistant to rot and mildew, and floats on water, making it easy to handle. However, its strength and abrasion resistance are lower than other materials, so it is best for medium-duty applications.

  • Polyester Rope: Offering a good balance of strength and durability, polyester ropes have lower stretch and better abrasion resistance than polypropylene. They are a reliable option for various applications, especially in environments where a more robust synthetic rope is needed.

  • Anti-twisting Steel Wire Rope: This is the preferred choice for heavy-duty overhead transmission line stringing. Our anti-twisting steel wire rope is braided from high-strength galvanized steel wire, providing a zero-rotation angle under tension. This design prevents kinking and twisting, ensuring a smooth and safe pulling operation for heavy conductors over long distances.
