The invention relates to an endless shaped article comprising at least one strip of material forming a plurality of convolutions of the strip of material, the strip having a longitudinal axis, wherein each convolution of said strip comprises a twist along the longitudinal axis of said strip, wherein said twist is an odd multiple of 180 degrees. The invention also relates to a method to manufacture said article, and its use as sling, loop, belt or chain link.

Endless shaped article

Treated HPPE yarns include elemental metal which forms a layer that adheres to the surface of the HPPE yarn and covers at least partly the surface of the HPPE yarn. The elemental metal is deposited onto the outer surface of a HPPE yarn via sputtering, preferably plasma sputtering. Articles comprising the treated HPPE yarn, a device comprising the treated HPPE yarn or the article as well as processes for preparing the treated HPPE yarn or treated HPPE yarn structure or treated HPPE yarn configuration and use of the treated HPPE yarn or an article or a device comprising the treated HPPE yarn for automotive applications, marine applications, aerospace applications, medical applications, defense applications, sports/recreational applications, architectural applications, clothing applications, bottling applications, machinery applications are also disclosed.

Monofilament or multifilament HPPE yarns

A product comprising a plurality of interlaced yarns wherein at least a first yarn having a tensile strength, having a value TS in N/tex, said first yarn containing a plurality of UHMWPE fibers having a titer, having a value T in den, wherein the ratio T/TS is at least 5 den.tex/N. The tensile strength is obtained by adjusting the drawing ratio or the UHMWPE filaments/fibers accordingly. The product shows resistance to abrasion. The product can be a rope or round slings, comprising a sheath/jacket comprising said first yarn.

Abrasion resistant product

Hybrid rope () having a core containing synthetic yarns (), surrounded by an outer containing steel wire strands (), the rope being terminated at least at one of its ends by a socket () having a conically shaped space (), which has a conical angle &#x3b1; of between 2 and 8&#xb0; and a length of between 5D and 20D, D being the smallest diameter of the conically shaped space, the core containing synthetic yarns and the steel wires having been untwisted at said at least one of the ends, the open space () around the untwisted wires and fibers in the hollow conical body of the socket being filled with a resin.

Hybrid rope

The present invention relates to a chain comprising a plurality of first links () interconnected with a plurality of adjacent links, the first links comprising polymeric multifilament yarns () and having a thickness (Formula (I)), at least at the portion where they interconnect with the adjacent links wherein said adjacent links have a thickness (Formula (II)) at least at the portion where they interconnect with the first links and wherein the ratio (Formula (II)/Formula (I)) is at least 1.2. The invention further relates to the use of the chain for storing, securing, and handling cargo, e.g. in lifting, hauling and rigging.

Chain comprising links

The invention relates to a chain suitable to moor or anchor boats, to lash cargo in road, rail, water and air transportation or for conveying, hoisting, suspending or lifting applications, said chain comprising a plurality of interconnected links. More in particular the invention relates to a chain suitable for the above stated uses comprising a plurality of interconnected links, at least part of the links comprising polyolefin fibers and in particular ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibers. The invention also relates to a method for enhancing the strength of such a chain.

Chain comprising a plurality of interconnected links

The invention relates to a process for making a monofilament-like product from a precursor containing a multitude of continuous polyolefin filaments, comprising exposing the precursor to a temperature within the melting point range of the polyolefin for a time sufficient to at least partly fuse adjacent fibers and simultaneously stretching the precursor at a draw ratio of at least 2.8. With the process according to the invention a monofilament-like product can be made that shows improved tensile properties; making it very suitable for application as e.g. fishing line.

Process for making a monofilament-like product

The invention is related to a roundsling in the form of an endless loop consisting of a core containing at least two turns of a load-bearing strand material comprising fibres with a tenacity of at least 10 cN/dTex and a protective covering around said core, wherein the strand material is in the form of a braided or laid rope, the terminal ends of which are connected with a splice. The invention further relates to a method for constructing a roundsling comprising a step of winding a braided or laid rope on two reels such that part of the turns is on the reels and another part is between the reels wherein the part between the reels is supported, and a step of making a splice in the two terminal ends of the rope.

Roundsling

Endless rope containing primary strands, the primary strands containing laid-up secondary strands, the laid-up secondary strands containing rope yarns, wherein the primary strands have been laid up from 3, 4 or 6 secondary strands, wherein the rope contains a splice in at least every primary strand and wherein the rope preferably has been laid up from 3, 4 or (1+6) primary strands or, alternatively, has been braided from 8 or 12 primary strands.

Endless rope

Method to make a splice in a laid rope construction containing at least two strands includes splitting one end of the laid rope into a first part having a first number of strands and a second part having a second number of strands, then tucking the first part of the first rope from a first direction into an opening in the laid rope, and thereafter tucking the second part into the opening from an opposite direction. The first and second parts are tucked at least 3 times into additional openings being separated from one another such that the first part and the second part cross over at least once all the strands of the laid rope and leave the second rope at the last opening.
