otW\on ,.Up to 30% stronger than the best white nylon

NU-BLU Nylon is the first real advance in nylon rope since 1958 when

American announced a dramatic 34% increase in nylon rope strength.

NU-BLU Nylon, tinted blue for positive identification, is manufactured from Du Pont Super Type 707 nylon.

Successfully tested as a 9" towing hawser since early 1970,

NU-BLU Nylon has since proved itself in a variety of heavy duty hauling uses. It has demonstrated conclusively these advantages:

STRONGER...TOUGHER... LONGER WEARING • Based on a comparison with the best nylon rope before NU-BLU, laboratory tests have shown a 100% improvement in abrasion re- sistance; field tests have shown an increase of at least 50% in wear life. •Laboratory weathering data indicate that NU-BLU Nylon is 100% more durable under outdoor conditions than some competitive nylon rope.

NU-BLU Nylon is available in the following constructions and sizes for heavy marine use: 3 Strand - 4V2" thru 15" Circumference

Square Braided - 6" " 10"

COMPARATIVE WEIGHTS AND STRENGTHS -Weights are the same as tor 3-Strand NU-BLU Nylon

NOTES: Breaking test figures are average. Minimum will be 10% below average. Lbs. per 100' are average.

Maximum weight 5% above these figures. Maximum Working Load 11% of Breaking Test.
