Non-Conductive Dielectric Synthetic Ropes

Dielectric properties refer to a rope's ability to resist electrical current flow. Ropes with good dielectric properties act as electrical insulators, preventing current transmission and protecting workers in power utility and electrical environments.

3-strand twisted, double braid, and 12-strand constructions all offer excellent dielectric properties. The best choice depends on your application: 3-strand for general utility work, double braid for lifting, and 12-strand for cable pulling operations.

Yes, many non-conductive ropes like double braid polyester are specifically designed for overhead lifting and rigging. They combine excellent dielectric properties with high strength and low stretch for safe, controlled lifting operations.

Keep ropes clean and dry when not in use. Inspect regularly for damage, contamination, or moisture absorption. Avoid contact with chemicals or oils that could compromise insulating properties. Replace ropes showing wear or damage.

Polyester offers higher strength and lower stretch, ideal for precision lifting and rigging. Polypropylene is lightweight, floats, and is more economical, making it suitable for general utility work and marine applications requiring electrical safety.

Yes, Orion Cordage offers custom lengths, put-ups, colors, and finishes for most dielectric rope products. This allows for easy identification, job-specific sizing, and integration into your existing equipment and safety systems.
