5 mm PP-Cords: The durable polypropylene cord for heavy-duty tasks
When delicate cords reach their limits, our 5 mm thick PP-Cords provide the necessary strength. In the field of post-press processing and the assembly of heavy promotional materials, this material is indispensable due to its lack of elasticity. Unlike Round Elastics, the polypropylene fibre does not stretch under tension, enabling precise positioning of ceiling hangers or secure guidance of heavy carrying straps.
Technical superiority and industrial processing
Since 1906, moog & langenscheidt has stood for ‘Made in Germany’ quality. Our 5 mm cord is optimised for efficient production processes:
- High tensile strength: The dense braided structure ensures excellent load distribution and makes the PP-Cords extremely abrasion-resistant.
- Weather resistance: Polypropylene absorbs virtually no moisture, is mould-resistant and therefore ideal for sheltered outdoor areas or damp storage environments.
- Excellent handling: Despite its 5 mm thickness, the cord remains supple and can be processed knot-free from the roll.
- Heat sealing: The ends can be neatly fused using heat (a hot cutter) to permanently prevent fraying.
Versatile applications: From display construction to logistics
This heavy-duty cord is the preferred choice where safety and tactile feel are important. It serves as a robust handle for heavy retail packaging, as a decorative element in shopfitting, or for securing product samples on POS displays. Thanks to the wide range of vibrant colours, the cord can also be perfectly matched to your corporate design and enhances the visual appeal of the end product.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
The 5 mm variant offers a significantly higher breaking load and a more comfortable, wider grip surface, which increases comfort and safety, particularly for carrying elements for heavy products.
Polypropylene has good basic resistance. For long-term use in direct sunlight, we would be happy to advise you on special, highly UV-stabilised versions from our range.
We supply the cord as practical roll goods on sturdy reels. This makes it easier to dispense during production and ensures tidy storage without tangling.
