Cords & cables

Cords and cables are used for fastening, tensioning, connecting and closing tarpaulins and technical textiles. Depending on the application, they provide a strong connection, elastic tension or reliable fastening in profiles and closure systems.

The range includes polyester cord, PVC keder cord, shock cord, cord hooks and clamps, and TIR cables. These versions differ in material, diameter, flexibility and fastening method, making them suitable for various applications in technical textile fabrication.

Applications

In sailmaking, sign production, tent manufacturing, transport and technical textile fabrication, cords and cables are used for tensioning fabrics, securing banners and nets and closing truck tarpaulins. Keder cords are also used in rail systems, while elastic cords provide flexible fastening solutions.

What should you consider?

Check the diameter, material composition and required strength in relation to the application. Consider elasticity, weather exposure and fastening method. Not every cord is suitable for the same load, and the selected hooks, clamps and profiles must be compatible with the material used.

Processing and use

Cut the cord or cable to the required length and finish the ends where necessary. Depending on the type, the material can be knotted, clamped, fitted with hooks or incorporated into a sewn or welded hem. Use suitable installation tools and check that the connection is securely fastened.
