PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

AmSteel9 Blue: The latest development of UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) fiber in a twelve-strand braided rope utilizing tension-set Parallay™ design with our proprietary blue Samthane™ urethane coating. AmSteef-Blue yields the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio and is stronger than wire rope constructions - yet it floats.

Mooring Master™ D-7: Designed to meet the rigors of the marine industiy with maximum strength, service life durability, deck handling flexibility and firmness for winch drums. The seven braided core strength members are produced from UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) fibers. The strength members are covered by a braided nylon chafe-protection cover. The cover allows the strength cores to do their work without exposure to external wear surfaces. Phone
