Manila rope (manila) is a twisted article of processed fibers of abacus leaves. Abaca is a perennial textile banana growing in the tropics on the Philippine islands. Has a beautiful tawny color. Less than all natural ropes are prone to rot in seawater. Low specific gravity, the ability to quickly return the moisture received, a great bursting force-all these advantages put Manila hemp at one of the first places among the raw materials used in the production of ropes.
Using:
- decorative design of wooden houses
- in the Navy for the manufacture of storm traps, auxiliary ropes of cargo devices, flinging end, running rigging(rigging of a ship), etc.
- the design of rooms and stairs as fencing elements, etc.
- when handling cargoes, where it is necessary to softly move the load.
