The main disadvantage of coated plastic Wire Rope is that it is not easy to observe wire breakage. The coating of this wire rope covers the surface of the wire rope, making wire breakage difficult to detect with the naked eye, increasing the risk of use.
The advantages of coated plastic wire rope include good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Its corrosion resistance in the atmosphere, mine water, and seawater is 3.5 to 5 times the life of ordinary galvanized wire rope, and its wear resistance is 1.5 to 2 times that of ordinary wire rope. In addition, Plastic-coated Wire Rope also has good fatigue resistance and is suitable for various harsh environments.
