Each material combines memory effect, shape, flexibility and texture in a different way. Straighter materials with no memory, such as fibreglass or twisted polyester, create less friction in straight sections, whereas nylon, which snakes more, will always create greater friction. NYLON / BI-NYLON It is the material with the greatest memory effect and therefore has more friction points. The new, reformulated bi-nylon is more flexible and has less friction. 4 COATED STEEL Available with flat band steel and round steel cable. These materials have little memory effect and are very suitable for heavy duty work. Flat band steel, which weighs less, delivers better anti-friction behaviour. 2 STANDARD RANGE 6
