Ready made or custom blended is best for marine use

PNX is a versatile rope that's available in two different types. The standard blend, adopted after considerable testing under diversified conditions, is just the right combination of two yarns...one, our highly successful monofilament polypropylene; the other, the most suitable multifilament synthetic yarn. Other yarns being offered in blends by some rope manufacturers do not possess the high strength nor resistance to internal or external abrasive wear.

For those who demand a specific blend of rope to perform a special job, AMERICAN offers custom PNX. There are no restrictions to such a blend. Custom PNX may include nylon, Dacron, polyester, fine denier multifilament polypropylene or other quality synthetics.

Its application determines the yarns and the proportion to be em- ployed for the best results.

The success of PNX cannot be attributed to construction alone.

An important feature is the addition of Resistex, a special lubricant that is highly resistant to heat, water and abrasion. Only AMERICAN offers Resistex, designed to overcome sticking on bitts under severe load conditions.

Customer acceptance has verified unanimously what AMERICAN research predicted when it originally introduced this unique rope... that PNX is the all-purpose rope for marine use.

The standard blend can be furnished from stock. For the custom blend, we suggest you consult our engineers who will recommend the proper blend for your job... at no extra cost.
