TUF-KOTE® / PFV wire ropes
TUF-KOTE / PFV, the plastic-impregnated wire rope,
has proven in many applications to give you longer
service life and cleaner operation than conventional
wire ropes.
On the inside, you'll find our top-of-the-line wire
rope that effectively withstands the tough pressures
of your demanding jobs. On the outside, you'll see
a specially engineered polymer plastic designed to
overcome even harsher conditions. This polymer is
applied at high pressure to force the material into
the rope, filling the valleys of the strands. TUF-KOTE
/ PFV cushions the strands, distributes internal stresses,
keeps in wire rope lubricant and keeps out dirt and
debris.
TUF-KOTE / PFV doesn't melt or soften from the heat
of your normal operating temperatures. It's also virtually
unaffected by sunlight and cold weather. The result
is longer service life from your wire rope.
TUF-KOTE / PFV also helps shed water and dirt, giving you
a clean, smooth surface to make it easy to pass over sheaves
and onto drums. This smooth surface works to clean and polish
as it extends the service life of your sheaves and drums.
That reduces your cleanup requirements and your maintenance
costs.
