Wear-Resistant High-Strength Twine

Tube

The braided construction makes this twine more wear resistant and less likely to unravel than twisted twine. It is nylon for a good balance between stretch and strength. It resists UV rays and rot.

Low-Stretch Flexible Rope—Not for Lifting

White

Rope has a strand core, which allows it to bend freely. The core is polyester to give the rope stretch resistance.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

Nylon covers resist rot and mildew. Acrylic-coated covers have a clear acrylic on the outside to reduce wear.

Shock-Absorbing Flexible Rope—Not for Lifting

All-nylon construction allows this rope to compensate for sudden force. It has a strand core, so it bends freely. It is also known as 550 cord. You can peel back the cover and remove the core strands to use it in light duty applications, such as tying items together.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

Shock-Absorbing No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting

Use this nylon rope when you need to compensate for sudden force, such as in towing applications or dock lines. Rope is rot and mildew resistant, but it can lose up to 20% of its strength when wet. Solid braided construction keeps the rope from flattening during use and disperses wear evenly, making it a good choice for high-friction applications, such as passing through pulleys. It knots easily and does not rotate under load.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

Shock-Absorbing Reinforced Wire-Core Rope—Not for Lifting

Often used with pulleys and sheaves, this nylon rope is more wear resistant than cotton, and has more stretch to help compensate for sudden force. The wire core makes it more wear resistant than rope with a fiber core, and it helps the rope keep its shape, so it won’t stretch with repeated use. Rope does not rotate under load.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.

High-Strength Shock-Absorbing Wear-Resistant Rope—Not for Lifting

This rope shares the weight of a load between the core and the cover, giving it added strength. It's made of nylon, which compensates for sudden force, such as in towing applications or dock lines. The braided cover protects the braided core from wear during use. The rope resists rot and mildew. When wet, it can lose up to 20% of its strength.

Note: The safety factor for capacity is 12:1.
