Manila ropes are made from abaca fiber — a tropical plant of the banana family, which has a characteristic yellow-brown color. This fiber is significantly stronger than standard hemp, exceeding it by 65% in strength and 20% lighter. Manila ropes are resistant to seawater, do not sink, and are highly resistant to mold and damage. Due to these properties, these ropes are actively used in the sea and river fleet in the manufacture of emergency rescue equipment (storm ladders, pendants with mussings, etc.) in running and standing rigging. Their pronounced appearance allows them to be used in decorative and designer interior design.
Advantages of Manila Ropes:
- Resistance to solar and thermal radiation.
- They do not accumulate static electricity.
- They are environmentally friendly.
- Resistant to abrasion.
- Do not melt when heated.
