<p>A metal rope (10) comprises wires (16, 18). The wires (16, 18) have a surface of stainless steel. A number of wires (18) are exposed to the surface of the rope (10). The number of wires that is exposed to the surface of the rope is equal to m. Some wires of these m wires exposed to the surface of the rope are coated with a transparent polymer. The number of wires coated is equal to n, whereby 1<= n < m. The transparent polymer (22) is selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polymers, polyimides, polyamides and polyphtalamides, or a copolymer thereof. The invention further relates to a structure, such as a woven (144) or knitted structure (150) comprising a metal rope according to the invention. The metal rope (10) can be used in architectural, building and decorative applications.</p> |
