Extra-Grip Wet-Environment Grip-Tight Rope—Not for Lifting

A coarse, natural texture makes this rope easier to grip than other wet-environment rope. Rope floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet. It also resists acid, oil, and gas, and knots easily.

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

Wet-Environment No-Flatten Rope—Not for Lifting

This polypropylene rope floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet. It also resists acid, oil, and gas. 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.
