3 strand construction polyester rope is flexible and sliceable yet strong. The careful process of twisting and balancing yarns has been developed over time to develop a top quality perfectly balanced rope. The characteristics of polyester delivers a hard wearing product capable of withstanding harsh conditions with little user maintenance.

A classic 3 strand Nylon rope. One of the oldest and most favoured man made fibres used in a variety of applications. Nylon shows low levels of resistance to acids and therefore this should be considered before application.

The same product as the standard 3 strand but constructed to slightly different twist levels incorporate the stretching process. Importantly this does deliver a slightly harder lay to the rope.

3 strand matt polyester designed to be soft to handle and soft to the touch. Produced from matt polyester the rope is slightly fury and provides good levels of grip. Polyester provides all the usual properties making it suitable for rugged use.

A pre-stretched heat set polyester double braid delivers exceptional all round performance to many markets. The 24 plait cover provides high levels of wear and better core coverage than other constructions. The heat setting process means that the rope is perfectly balanced and avoids kinking. It is easy to splice with low stretch at working loads.

The 12 strand rope is produced using the Dyneema SK75 fibre. Used in applications from body armour through to snowboarding the product has many characteristics that differentiate itself from normal fibres. 12 Strand Dyneema ropes are frequently used in the replacement of wire, driven through the substantial reduction in weight and the lack of stored kinetic energy. The product is exceptionally strong with low stretch and is capable of withstanding most environmental variables. It is not suitable for use in environments where extreme heat may be a consideration.

A hard wearing low stretch 8 plait cords made from polyester. It is durable, flexible and suitable for use in most environments.

A low cost polypropylene providing an alternative to nylon or polyester. Typically used in low load applications where cost is key or the product needs to be able to float.

Kevlar has seen a reduction in popularity over recent years however it still has one key characteristic, resistance to heat. The line provides low levels of stretch and high strength when used in a straight line pull. Caution should be used if the line is compressed. Kevlar also suffers from degradation with exposure to UV. It is typically when pulled around pulleys or crushed by outside factors. If heat is not a consideration then Dyneema is a superior alternative.
