Solid Braided cords/ braids are manufactured on 8, 12, 16, 18, 20 or 36 strand braiding machines, depending on the size of the cord required.
Many braids are reinforced with solid core of synthetic twine/ yarn for increasing strength and hardness. Braiding type could be single-braiding, double-braiding, solid-braiding, cord-braids, diamond-braids.
Braids without a central solid core, thus imparting softness to the cord.
These braids have a core that fills the central void.
These are braid on braid, typically consisting of an inner braid which is used as a core filling the central void in an outer braid that may be of the same or different material.
Available in sizes varying from 3mm to 1”
Cords are used for decorative and fancy purposes, construction, fishing, garments, in bags as handles, household and industrial purposes. All kinds of braiding are widely used in shipping, defence, sports and other recreational activities.
Offers high tensile strength, high elasticity, energy absorption & impact resistance, high melting point
Offers high tensile strength, low elastic elongation, high melting point (approx. 480) and good abrasion resistance.
Soft and flexible and has the feel of nylon. Strength is about ½ of nylon with a low melting point (approx. 330). It is a light-weight fiber with high positive buoyancy which allows it to float.
Similar to Polypropylene fiber, retains memory and slicker than polypropylene. Has better UV protection. Heavier than Polypropylene and offers more abrasion resistance. It also has high buoyancy.
Offers wicking ability, soft non-scouring surface and superior knot retention.
