Bank twine: definition, scope, price

Bank twine - an ordinary-looking yellowish-brown or gray thin rope, which can be found on the shelves of highly specialized or profile stores. It wears a rather loud and solid name, but what does a simple twine have to the financial system, and also, why it will be useful to get a twine for each person?

What is a twine?

Checking the encyclopedic sources, you can easily find out that a strong thread consisting of twisted fibers, a thickness of 1 to 2.5 mm is called a twine. It is produced by the method of connecting two or three more thin strands made of natural or synthetic components. Bank twine - this is traditionally a linen thread, however, at least for its manufacture use other bast plants. Among them, an annual spinning culture comes from the Asian subtropics called jute.

A distinctive characteristic of the twine is its high strength: to break a thin thread with bare hands, without using any improvised means, one must possess truly heroic strength. Depending on the thickness and composition, this ungainly twine has a breaking load of 7 kgf (paper twine), 13-20 kgs (linen twine) or 30-100 kgs (polished twine).

And so, and syak, and without him in any way

The twine is actually used everywhere, most often as a thin, but strong and reliable rope, irreplaceable in the household. It is not for nothing that many holiday-makers and florists have chosen it - twine it is convenient to tie up bushes and other vegetation.

Banking twine is indispensable also for corporate organizations, this thread bundles cash-in bags (hence the name "bank"), documentation, all sorts of parcels and goods. Strong twine does not tear by itself, and valuable packages for greater reliability are sealed with sealing wax seals.

An additional advantage is the cost of such packaging material as twine. Price per hank varies from 75 (small bobbin, in which the thread is not more than 150 m) to 500 rubles (bobbin 600-700 m). There are also medium-sized coils on sale - 200-300 meters each, their value fluctuates in the range of 200-300 rubles. It should be noted that the bank polished twine costs a bit more expensive than linen or jute, but the price is higher due to the fact that it is sold in large coils, which are wound with lengths from a minimum of 100 m, most often, their yardage is calculated in thousandths. For one such reel it will be necessary to pay an average of 80 (125 m), 1250 (2200 m) or 1400 rubles (5000 m).

The essence is one, and the nature?

So, the twine, as we found out, is the most diverse. First of all, it differs in composition. There is a single or mixed twine, however, in the second case the yarn consists of different fibers of vegetable origin, but without synthetic impurities.

White, polypropylene thread is an artificial twine. It is reliable, strong and durable, not prone to rotting or drying out. It is used as an auxiliary material for packing or wrapping parcels, goods and other goods that need to be transported.

Natural twine (linen or jute) except for the strength also has the following characteristics:

• Ecological compatibility;
• durability;
• Low thermal conductivity.

The thread of linen at cost is more expensive than jute. This is due in large part to the fact that jute is cheap raw materials, its production is adjusted very qualitatively and scale. This parameter is important, first of all, for the construction because the twine is often used to insulate the wreaths in wooden log houses. Consumption of this material in this area is great, but because manufacturers offer a twine of a mixed composition, in which flax fibers are combined with jute. However, the bank twine is mainly one-component flax thread of different thickness.

Practical use

As it was said a little bit above, the bank twine is successfully used in a number of the most diverse spheres of human life. First of all, it is a good packing material. Linen fiber has the amazing ability to instantly absorb moisture, while the threads dry quickly, they do not taste different pests, such as moth, bacteria or fungus.

The ecological compatibility of the bank twine allows using it even in food production. To be more precise, it wraps meat and fish products during its baking or smoking.

A thin twine is rarely used in construction, for the insulation of joints, a special caulk, a tow or a tourniquet is more often used, this should be taken into account when choosing a twine, since there are quite a few varieties of twisted rope made from vegetable fibers. Twine is called and impressive in the thickness of the rope, which will be difficult to find use in ordinary household use.

Rope, wax

Well, and one more sphere of application of a bank twine about which it is impossible to mention only casually, is needlework. This thread only looks at first glance rather unpresentable, thanks to its fibrous structure, natural color, which can be in both brown and gray tones, it is often used in several directions of hand-made.

Twine is soft and flexible, it keeps the shape well, it is easy to twist the knots and make figures, in addition, it shows itself perfectly in contact with glues, which makes it possible to securely fix the compositions, the basis or details of which constitute the described thread. Thanks to these qualities, crafts made in the technique of macrame are made from linen twine, it is an indispensable material for weaving decorative vases, pots, bottles and jars. Masters of needlework make from it amazing souvenir production, magnets, fur-tree toys and even bijouterie.
