Three-Strand Twist consists of three equally sized strands twisted together to produce a very fine, durable rope. Using premium high-tensile strength fibers, we produce a durable rope through a four stage, torsion-balanced construction that prevents hockling and maintains dimensional stability. Easy handling wet or dry. Knots and splices easily. This rope is entirely made in the USA and manufactured from 100% high tenacity, marine grade nylon fibers. Synthetic fibers have high strength and elongation properties making this type of rope ideal for shock loading applications. The added benefit of high UV and chemical resistance compared to other synthetic fibers make nylon an excellent marine and general purpose rope. Features: Average Tensile Strength: 13,800 lbs High Strength, Abrasion Resistance and Flexibility Predictable Elongation UV and Chemical Resistance Torsion-Balanced Common Applications: Dock Lines Anchor Ropes and Rodes Mooring Lines and Pennants Tow Lines Shock Absorbers * Weights are an average and may vary /- 5%. ** Diameter of rope is measured under load per Cordage Institute specifications, relaxed diameter is approximately 10% larger that stated diameter.
