摘要： A metal rope (10) comprises wires (16, 18). The wires (16, 18) have a surface of stainless steel. At least those wires (18) exposed to the surface of the rope (10) are coated with a transparent polymer (22) on the stainless steel. The transparent polymer (22) is selected from the group consisting of thermoplastic polyesters, polyimides, polyamides and polyphtalamides, or a copolymer thereof. The metal rope (10) can be an element of a fabric, such as a woven (144) or knitted structure (150). The metal rope (10) be used in architectural, building and decorative applications.
