What material is aramid fiber?
Aramid fiber is a high-performance synthetic material belonging to the category of aromatic polyamide fibers, with the following core characteristics: ♦ Material characteristics The strength is 5-6 times that of steel wire, the modulus can reach 2-3 times that of steel wire, and the density is only one-fifth of steel, achieving lightweight performance. It can […]
Why is UHMWPE rope effective in preventing rope kinking?
♦ Inherent material properties reduce the tendency to tangle UHMWPE fiber surface molecular chain is highly oriented and has no chemically active groups, the coefficient of friction is only 0.07-0.1 (about 1/3 of that of nylon), so that the rope has very low inter-fiber sliding resistance in dynamic use, and the probability of self-entanglement caused […]
How do you care for UHMWPE fishing rope?
♦ Cleaning and drying Immediately after fishing, you need to rinse the ropes with clean water to remove salt, sediment and organic residues to avoid chemical corrosion or microbial growth. Place the rope in a cool and ventilated place to dry after cleaning, avoiding exposure to the sun to accelerate the aging of ultraviolet rays; […]
Why are fishing ropes made of UHMWPE?
The use of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for fishing ropes is closely related to its unique physical and chemical properties, with the following advantages: ♦ Ultra-high strength and lightweight The strength of UHMWPE fiber can be up to 15 times that of steel, while the density is only 0.97-0.98g/cm³ (about the density of water), […]
Why is UHMWPE suitable for fishing nets?
♦ High strength and light weight advantages The tensile strength of UHMWPE fiber is 15 times that of steel wire and 1.6 times that of aramid, which is able to withstand the violent struggle of fish and the impact of water current in deep-sea fishing. Its density is only 0.97g/cm³, and the nets made of […]
Aramid vs Kevlar: What’s the Difference?(A Simple Guide for Non-Experts)
Aramid vs Kevlar When discussing high-performance fibers, the terms “aramid” and “Kevlar” are often used interchangeably, but they are not exactly the same. Let’s break it down in plain language. 1. The Big Picture: Category vs. Brand Think of it this way:All Kevlar is aramid, but not all aramid is Kevlar. 2. Aramid vs Kevlar, Key Differences […]
