Rope Characteristic
PolyPlus Braid is a single braided rope constructed of high tenacity Dacron® plied over “para-ep” polyolefin in each individual strand. A unique plying technique optimizes abrasion resistance. The “para-ep” provides body to the rope and enhances its handling characteristics, while keeping the weight to a minimum. Poly Plus is the strongest single braid polyester/polyolefin blend available.
