A thermoplastic extrusion die is disclosed. The thermoplastic extrusion die includes a housing, and a resilient or elastomer insert having an inlet through the housing, and a passage through the resilient insert. Embodiments have a mechanical locking mechanism configured to communicate physical pressure to the resilient insert thereby narrowing the passage for contact with traversing rovings.
A method for manufacturing rope is disclosed. The method includes receiving a plurality of thermoplastic polymer or resin impregnated rovings, combining the plurality of thermoplastic polymer or resin impregnated rovings into a combined roving, tensioning the combined roving, heating the combined roving, removing excess thermoplastic polymer or resin from a surface of the combined roving, and chilling the combined roving while under tension.
