Natural fibre ropes by August Vormann GmbH & Co. KG
Properties: twisted
Material: hemp
Hemp and sisal are pure natural fibres. Compared to synthetic fibers, they are antistatic and have less tear strength. Hemp is the more supple fibre, sisal the firmer, harder fibre. Both fibers rot when wet and should therefore be protected accordingly. Before storage, wet natural fiber ropes should be air-dried.
Other properties:
medium weather resistance
low light resistance
strength increases when wet
low elongation (only 2-4 %) under load
medium heat resistance (up to approx. 80°C)
low resistance to acids and alkalis
medium resistance to organic solvents
medium flammability
Main applications: Agriculture, home, garden
