The difference between wax and string

The difference between wax and string

    Wax rope and wire rope are different in terms of raw materials, appearance and use characteristics:

    Ingredients:

   1.Ingredients:

    Rope is usually made from a variety of fibers, including cotton, linen, silk or man-made fibers.
    Wax rope is mainly made from the gum juice of palm fruit, and natural beeswax is added to increase environmental protection and prevent the production of toxic substances.

    2.Appearance:

    The surface of the rope is smooth, divided into two kinds of light and dark, and metal rods or other coarse diameter rods may be used when weaving.
    The surface of the wax rope is uneven, the color is yellowish, and it looks rough.

    3.Usage characteristics:
    The string is easy to weave and shape, and has good elasticity and adaptability to different activities.
    Wax rope strength is larger, can withstand greater tension, and easy to paste fixed.

    4.Other features:
    Wax rope has waterproof and non-stick characteristics, high friction, easy to bind and fix items.
    Due to the addition of a waxy outer layer of protection, the wax rope may become brittle and non-wear resistant after drying. However, through a special heat treatment process can improve the molding, retaining the advantages of the wax line without losing wear resistance.

    5.Application scenario:
    Because of its water resistance and non-slip properties, wax rope is suitable for outdoor and water sports, as well as occasions requiring high strength and high toughness.
    For daily use of small objects, such as bracelets and other accessories, ordinary string is more common.

    In summary, although wax rope and wire rope can be found on the rope application, but their composition, appearance, use characteristics and application scenarios are different.
