Electrolytic passivation process used to increase the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of metal parts. Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal does.
Cloth, yarn, and clothing made out of bamboo fibres. Bamboo fabric is exceptionally soft and light. It is also incredibly hydrophilic, absorbing more water than other conventional fibres such as cotton and polyester.
Deformation of metal while it is below its recrystallization point. This process is usually less expensive than hot forging and the end product requires little, if any, finishing work. Residual stress of material may occur as it handles high stress and high die loads.
Registered trademark for a synthetic fabric that is stronger than Kevlar®. Dyneema® is composed of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. It is resistant to water, most chemicals, UV radiation and bacterial.
Electrophoretic deposition coating. A characteristic feature of this process is that colloidal particles suspended in a liquid medium migrate under the influence of an electric field (electrophoresis) and are deposited onto an electrode.
Synthetic polyether-polyurea copolymer known for its exceptional elasticity. It is stronger and more durable than natural rubber.
Expanded polystyrene is a rigid and tough, closed-cell foam. It is made of pre-expanded polystyrene beads. Due to its technical properties such as low weight, rigidity, and formability, EPS can be used in a wide range of different applications.
Type of fiber-reinforced plastic where the reinforcement fiber is specifically glass fiber. The glass fiber may be randomly arranged, flattened into a sheet (called a chopped strand mat), or woven into a fabric. Fiberglass is unique in its strength and yet it is lightweight. Although it is not as strong and stiff as composites based on carbon fiber, it is less brittle, and its raw materials are much cheaper.
Soft napped insulating fabric made from a type of polyester called polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or other synthetic fibers. A lightweight, warm, soft and hydrofobic fabric. Regular polar fleece is not wind-proof and does not absorb moisture. It is readily generates static electricity.
High-pressure fiberglass laminate, a kind of composite material. It is created by stacking multiple layers of glass cloth, soaking in epoxy resin, and compressing the resulting material under heat until the epoxy cures. G10 is favoured for its high strength, low moisture absorption, excellent electrical insulating properties and chemical resistance.
Joining of materials by supplying High Frequency energy in the form of an electromagnetic field (27.12 MHz) and pressure to the material surfaces to be joined.
The unique patented technology providing maximum safety even in case of a damaged sheath. The rope is made from 4 layers of parallel core filaments, braided core, braided intermediate sheath made from staple fibres and single tech sheath.
