      Polyester

      Polyester is a polymer that is melted in granular form under the influence of thermal conditions in a spinning machine, pressed through a spinneret and converted into filaments (= melt spinning).

      No chemicals are used in this process. The fibers are then further processed into a twisted or braided rope.
