Properties of expander rope sold by the meter

Expander ropes, also known as rubber ropes, rubber expanders or elastic ropes, are characterized by their high elasticity, durability and long service life. The core consists of parallel rubber threads that are encased in a robust textile cover made of polypropylene or polyester. This makes the ropes UV-resistant, weatherproof and abrasion-resistant. They retain their tensile strength for many years and can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Quality & material structure

Our expander rope by the metre is characterized by a combination of high-quality natural rubber in the core and a braid-reinforced textile cover. This ensures maximum stability and protection against abrasion. In addition, all ropes are UV-stabilized so that they do not become brittle even in direct sunlight.

Tips for processing & cutting

Expander rope by the meter is supplied in the desired length - from 1 meter. We recommend using a sharp knife or scissors to cut the rope to size. To prevent the end of the rope from fraying, it can be briefly melted with a lighter or shrink-wrapped. Matching accessories such as hooks, balls, spiral hooks or round buttons are also available in our store.

Care & storage of expander ropes

To ensure that your expander rope remains elastic for a long time, please note the following tips:

• Store in a cool and dry place, avoid direct sunlight
• After use in salt water, rinse briefly with clear water
• Do not load permanently to maximum elongation
• Replace damaged rope sections regularly
