Abrasion resistant cords and ropes

摘要

A covering device (120) having enhanced abrasion resistance properties, said covering device comprising a braided construction of at least one layer of a uniaxially oriented ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) unitary tape (125) having a continuous and coherent structure.
The abrasion resistance of organic fiber based ropes, cords, or laminate structures is increased by such a covering device (120)
A corresponding process for forming a cord like device is also disclosed.
