Knitted polypropylene cord – a versatile semi-finished product for multiple industries

Strength and flexibility of knitted polypropylene cord

The Lumi knitted polypropylene cord is made from high-quality polypropylene silk. This material combines lightness, durability, and resistance to external factors, making it a reliable semi-finished product for both industrial and craft applications.

Two structural versions are available:

• Knitted cord with core – stiffer, dedicated to demanding applications,
• Knitted cord without core – soft and flexible, ideal where easy tying and shaping are required.

Knitted polypropylene cords do not absorb water and are resistant to UV radiation, changing weather conditions, and high temperatures, maintaining their performance parameters for a long time.
