Silver Rope Manufactured from a polyethylene staple extrusion process, silver rope has a distinctive white ‘hairy’ appearance. It does not absorb water and floats. It’s high abrasion resistance and U.V. tolerance ensures longevity in the harsh marine environment. The resilient and economical nature of this rope makes it a favourite for anchoring, mooring, lashing, commercial fishing, tent rope, tie down and as a general purpose line. Ends can be heat welded. 4-12mm is soft-medium lay for easy splicing whilst 14mm and larger is medium lay.

Nylon Three Strand Laid Rope Polyamide fibres are used to manufacture this three strand rope which provides its exceptional strength, extension and recovery. Having easily two to three times the strength of silver rope and the ability to repeatedly elongate safely by approximately 20-30%, makes this a most suitable rope for anchoring, mooring or towing. Non floating, U.V. stabilised, resistant to grease and oil, soft grip and good knot holding are just some of nylon’s advantages. Ends can be heat welded to prevent unravelling.

Aquadan Rope An economical polypropylene three strand rope that floats, does not absorb water, and does not shrink when wet. It is inherently at least twice as strong as comparable silver rope, resistant to rot, mildew and marine growth, making it a very popular commercial fishing, industrial and general purpose rope. Ends can be heat welded.
