Exploring the Core Features of Duracordix’s Kevalr(aramid) Rope
Kevlar ropes can withstand forces of up to 8 times greater than steel wire of equivalent weight, ensuring durability in extreme conditions.
With a decomposition temperature of 450°C (932°F), Kevlar maintains its strength properties in high temperature environments.
Exhibiting a mere 3.6% elongation at break, Kevlar ropes offer minimal stretch, ensuring optimal force transfer and stability during use.
With a resistance factor of 60% higher than standard fibers, it ensure a longer lifespan even in the roughest handling scenarios.
Kevlar exhibits minimal creep just 0.7% over 200 hours, ensuring consistent length and superior structural integrity under load.
