Wet-Environment Sure-Grip 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. The twisted construction gives rope a grooved surface, allowing you to grip it tight without it slipping.

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

UV-Resistant Wet-Environment Sure-Grip Rope—Not for Lifting

Also known as truck tie-down rope, this rope has added UV-ray inhibitors to protect it from deterioration when used outdoors. Rope is polypropylene so it floats in water, resists rot, and doesn’t lose strength when wet. It also resists acid, oil, and gas. The twisted construction gives rope a grooved surface, allowing you to grip it tight without it slipping.

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

Shock-Absorbing Easy-Splice Rope—Not for Lifting

Made from nylon, this rope compensates for sudden force, such as in towing applications and dock lines. A polyurethane coating gives this rope wear resistance for high-friction applications. It’s braided with a hollow core, so it’s easier to splice than other rope when adding a fitting or connecting rope together. It doesn’t rotate under load.

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.
