FLOATING LINEAR TENSION MEMBER COMPRISING MULTIPLE FIBERS

摘要

Linear tension member having multiple fibers and at least 0.1 wt % of solid hydrophobic organic nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 10-300 nm and a standard deviation σ of at least 10% of the mean value, which linear tension member has a linear mass density of at least 10.000 dtex and has at least 80 wt % of fibers having a mass density higher than 1 g/cm3. The disclosure also pertains to the use of such particles for making a linear tension member buoyant and to a process to manufacture a floating linear tension member.
