polyester poliestere Polyester fibres are featured by high tenacity and good abrasion resistance. Lightweight and flexible, Polyester resists well to wrinkles and chemical/ physical agents. All these characteristics, combined with the low coefficient of water absorption, make polyester ideal for a wide range of applications. Le fibre di Poliestere si caratterizzano per alta tenacità, discreta leggerezza e resistenza all’usura. Il Poliestere risulta inoltre molto resistente all’abrasione, alle pieghe e agli agenti chimici e fisici. Tutte queste caratteristiche, unite al basso coefficiente di assorbimento...

Special polyurethane coating treatment realized by Gottifredi Maffioli to enhance abrasion resistance and make splicing easier. Speciale trattamento termico cui vengono sottoposte le cime in Dyneema ® per migliorare le prestazioni meccaniche. Questo processo consiste nel portare la cima ad elevata temperatura e sottoporla a trazione per equilibrare perfettamente le tensioni delle fibre, consentendo così di incrementare la resistenza ed il modulo della cima di circa il 15% e di ridurne il diametro del 10%. Gottifredi Maffioli has been the first to introduce melange style in ropes: since over 10...
