Fiber structures

Teufelberger used different fiber structures that support the characteristics of the rope.

Monofilaments

The yarns consist of one single element of a relatively large diameter and are braided into a rope.

 

Characteristics:

  • Very good abrasion resistance

  • Low dirt take-up

  • tiff structure


Textured fibers

A certain degree of disorder is caused in a formerly straight bundle of synthetic fibers to generate characteristics which are usually seen only on natural fibers.

 

Characteristics:

  • Good grip

  • High elasticity

  • Traditional look and feel


Multifilaments

A bundle of thin fibers processed into twines which then are braided into a rope. The majority of fiber ropes follow this basic design.

 

Characteristics:

  • High flexibility

  • High tensile strength


Staple fiber

This type of material consists of spun pieces of short filaments instead of a bundle of long ones.

 

Characteristics:

  • Excellent grip

  • Soft handling
