Description

Hampex is a highly popular rope resembling natural hemp but made of synthetic, more durable fibers. These ropes have many applications, here is a detailed description:

Material and properties: Hampex ropes are made from spun PP yarn, resembling natural fiber in appearance.

  • Synthetic hemp: Hampex is a special type of spun PP fiber on beige (natural) color, making the ropes very hard to distinguish from natural hemp.
  • Floating: natural hemp absorbs a lot of water and is also sinking, while Hampex ropes will float in water. They are also more lightweight than natural hemp.
  • Natural feeling: the special caracteristics of the spin PP fibers make the ropes look and also feel a lot like natural hemp.
  • Does not rot: These ropes have moderate UV resistance, allowing outdoor use without degradation over time. One significant advantage of Hampex ropes is their resistance to rotting when exposed to moisture and weather, making them ideal for outdoor projects.

Applications: Hampex ropes are versatile and widely used. They can be used as decorative ropes to create a rustic and natural aesthetic in various projects.

  • Barrier ropes: Hampex ropes are very popular as barrier ropes in their bigger diameters. They are commonly used at cafés and restaurants or as fence ropes in home decorations.
  • Banisters: These ropes are also suitable as list ropes or banister ropes in stairs, both on common buildings and at home.
  • Decorations:Because these ropes are so similar to natural hemp, they are often used in decorative purposes in situations where natural hemp is not suitable. For example in outdoor or humid environments.

Advantages: Hampex ropes combine the best of both worlds by offering a natural appearance like natural fibers while benefiting from modern materials and UV resistance. Their wide range of applications makes them an excellent choice for a variety of projects where both aesthetics and functionality are important factors.
