Polyester Double Braid

Our Polyester Double Braid rope is a high strength rope with low stretch. This type of rope also features torque-balanced construction which will prevent hockling, while special tension setting & stabilization processes keep the rope dimensionally stable. Additional benefits of polyester double braid rope is that the polyester fibers handle excellent in tough weather environments and has great wet/dry abrasion resistance.

Compliance to the above specifications is based upon testing according to the Cordage Institute Standard Testing Methods for Fiber Rope and/or ASTM D-4268 Standard Methods of Testing Fiber Ropes.

Weights: are average and may vary +/- 5%.

Tensile strengths: Are approximate average for new, unused ropes. To estimate the minimum tensile strength of a new rope, reduce the approximate average by 15% (Cordage Institute defines minimum tensile strength as two standard deviations below the average tensile strength of the rope).

Nylon rope has three characteristics that make it ideal for dockline. Nylon rope is incredibly strong, it is very stretchy, and it resists the harmful effects of sunlight better than any of those fancy-name synthetics.
