Union Rope PFV® & Tuf-Kote® Ropes

General purpose wire rope that delivers extra-long service life.

The key to PFV and Tuf-Kote wire rope’s benefits lie in its exclusive patented fabrication. Standard, lubricated Macwhyte^® and Union^® Wire Rope is used in the extrusion process where the “gaps” (or valleys) between the individual rope strands are impregnated with a sealing thermoplastic material. Each strand “valley” in the finished rope is filled with plastic. The finished rope may have a thin “skin coating” of plastic but this has no significant effect on the outside diameter of the PFV and Tuf-Kote rope or its serviceability.

Result: PFV and Tuf-Kote wire rope is a balanced sealed-lubricated wire rope that delivers exceptional performance and service life on applications that produce severe operating conditions, such as: haulback lines in high lead logging systems, saw mill carriage lines, draglines, towing hawser and drilling lines. And there is less sheave and drum wear.
