Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides an overview of Cousin Trestec's textile cables designed for oceanology and construction applications. The cables are engineered to replace traditional steel cables, offering advantages in weight, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors.

Specifications
  • Technora® Aramid Core: Used in KING ROPE® and Aramcabl’ cables, providing high breaking strength and resistance to bending fatigue.
  • Polyurethane Interface Film: Enhances durability and flexibility.
  • Polyester Sheath: Offers high tenacity and protection against abrasion.
  • Dyneema® Fibres: Used in DYNALIGHT® cables, known for exceptional tensile strength and lightweight properties.

Product Range and Applications
  • KING ROPE®: Ideal for hoist cables, mooring, and recovery lines in oceanology, as well as yachting applications.
  • Aramcabl’: Suitable for moorings and maneuvering ropes, replacing steel cables in ports.
  • DYNALIGHT®: Versatile for hoist cables, lifting slings, and towing bridles, known for its lightweight and flexibility.
  • COSA®: Developed for deep-sea applications, featuring optical fibres and electrical conductors.

Advantages
  • High breaking strength with minimal load elongation.
  • Lightweight, 4 to 5 times lighter than steel.
  • Exceptional resistance to bending fatigue and corrosion.
  • Non-magnetic and chemically neutral, preventing interference and contamination.
  • Easy to splice and handle, enhancing maneuverability.

Performance Data
The document includes detailed tables listing the nominal resistance, weight in air, and weight in sea water for various cable diameters, highlighting their suitability for different applications.

Conclusion
Cousin Trestec's textile cables are positioned as a superior alternative to steel cables in oceanology and construction, offering unique qualities such as lightweight, high strength, and resistance to environmental factors. These cables are essential for deep-sea research and other demanding applications.

Câbles textiles pour l’Océanographie-1

KING ROPE® TEXTILE CABLE ARAMCABL’ TEXTILE CABLE Compact, stable, easy to use Maneuverability, durability, excellent resistance to friction Technora® aramid long-pitch braided core. Polyurethane interface film. Fine braided sheath in high-tenacity polyester. Technora® aramid long-pitch braided core. Polyurethane interface film. Thick braided sheath in polyester multifilament. KING ROPE® is mostly used for hoist cables, given its excellent resistance to bending. Used in oceanology for mooring and recovery lines. In the yachting world, KING ROPE® cable is used for applications in runners, luff of the sail on the hoist, backstays and standing rigging in general. Aramcabl’ ushers in a new generation of powerful cables. It is perfectly suitable for moorings and ropes used during manoeuvring. It can be used in ports where cable steel was previously required by regulations. ADVANTAGES High breaking strength for a diameter similar to that of cable steel Barely any load elongation Extremely lightweight, 4 to 5 times lighter than steel Exceptional resistance to fatigue caused by bending, even when alternately bending and unbending Total insensitivity to corrosion Non-magnetic, it does not cause interference with transmission systems Fully non rotating Chemically neutral, it does not contaminate water samples. ADVANTAGES Lightweight, easy to handle and flexible High breaking strength and high resistance to elongation Does not whip about if ever it breaks Easy to splice Nominal Ø mm resistance Kg 8 2 600 10 3 500 11.5 5 100 13.5 7 000 16 10 500 18 14 000 20 17 500 23 22 500 25 28 000 ©PHOTO COURTESY : Cousin Trestec • Helene Leau / Institut polaire français IPEV • Pierre Sangiardi / Institut polaire français IPEV • Didier Van Haudenhuyse • François Blazquez • DESIGN: PIoIM • Non liable document subject to errors or omissions • COUSIN TRESTEC OCEANOLOGY RANGE TEXTILE CABLES for OCEANOLOGY 8 RUE ABBÉ BONPAIN I 59117 WERVICQ SUD FRANCE www.cousin-trestec.com contact@cousin-tres
