Bituminized rope
with spiral braiding

Features

Bitumen rope, also known as bitumen thread or tarred rope, is a spiral rope braided in our factories and coated with bitumen, a substance derived from petroleum. This coating gives the rope unique properties that make it particularly useful in a number of specific applications:

Fishing: Thanks to its bitumen coating, this bitumen rope is particularly resistant to salt water - making it an ideal choice for fishing nets and ropes used at sea. It's the guarantee that with our bituminized rope, you'll be able to manufacture robust, long-lasting fishing equipment.

This rope is particularly suitable for longline fishing, as the bitumen coating protects the rope from wear caused by constant rubbing against the seabed. What's more, our bitumen-coated rope retains a high degree of strength, essential for resisting the pull exerted by the fish caught and the movements of the water. Despite its robustness, bitumen rope remains flexible, making it easy to deploy and remove during fishing operations.

Bitumen rope is traditionally used in the construction and repair of wooden ships. Bitumen offers excellent resistance to water, making it possible to caulk the gaps between hull planks, thus ensuring effective watertightness in hostile environments.
This article also offers enhanced resistance to salt water and harsh maritime conditions, making it ideal for marine applications. It's a popular item for all types of seamanship, knot-tying and other operations.

In civil engineering, it is used to reinforce structures: Bituminous cordage is used in civil engineering work to reinforce and stabilize certain structures, particularly in damp or weather-exposed environments. It is also used to protect banks and embankments against erosion, thanks to its resistance to natural elements. In some industries, bitumen rope is used for insulation and safety applications, notably for its resistance to chemicals and humidity.

Made in France: We are proud to produce our helically braided bitumen rope entirely in our factory in France. . This local manufacturing guarantees not only superior quality, but also a commitment to the local economy.
