Rope Net made of 100% Coir fiber is constructed with a number of machine spun twines, intertwined into a thick strong rope with a high degree of resilience. Rope Nets could be applied for the prevention of and the protection from rock fall. The flexibility of the rope net facilitates the absorption of the kinetic forces released by falling rocks or any other such solid material and dissipating the energy by the resilience of the rope net. In the olden days ships would be anchored to jetties using these thick Coir ropes.
The rope matting is designed initially for the mountain leisure walk paths in Korea because of its environmental and eco friendly characteristics. Its ropes are made out of 100% coir fibers. 18 coir twines are twisted into a rope of length, equal to 13 meters approx. Each twisted rope is approx 15 mm in diameter. Warp has 48 ropes/1 meter width and weft has 34 ropes per 1 meter width. The woven matting has an average overall thickness of 25-30 mm. The weight per m² is approx 5.50 kg The tensile strength of a rope is approx 450 kg. The tensile strength of a rope mat in length(warp) direction – 20,000 kg. The durability in the open air environment is expected to be over 3 years.
Other Potential Applications
- Building safety protection matting(netting)
- Prevent boulders from falling by anchoring
- Steep earth slip preventive cover
- Swimming pool edge covers for the prevention of slipping.
- Ideal River, stream embankment stabilization mat.
- Backyard house gardens natural wall separation where plants could grow easily.
