The core of wire rope is one of the main components of steel wire rope that plays an important role in determining the type of wire rope and its use.
Around the core of the steel wire rope are strands made up of a number of wires.
Fiber core steel wire ropes are often made of polypropylene, hemp and sisal fibers.
The structure of steel wire ropes with polypropylene core is usually 6 strands or 8 strands.
PP core steel wire ropes are mostly used in marine industries and are very suitable for marine uses due to lack of water absorption and weight gain and are also suitable for floating use on water.
In general, steel wire ropes with plastic cores weigh less than others.
