Plaited ropes are well established in marine and off-shore applications, because of their ease in handling and non-rotating behaviour. Megaflex is a composite fibre with polyester as a strength member, with excellent fatigue characteristics and abrasion resistance. The fatigue life is comparable to pure polyester, but the weight for a given strength is comparable to that of nylon. The rope has a very high breaking strength and is not influenced by water, thus dry strength is equal to wet strength, with a specific gravity 1.14. It is an ideal rope for mooring tails. Material: High tenacity polypropylene and polyester composite fibres.
BENEFITS & FEATURES G Optimum strength/weight ratio for ease of handling. G Wet strength equal to dry strength. G Good abrasion resistance against internal and external friction. G Manufactured in accordance with OCIMF guidelines.
79
G Good resistance to frictional heat damage. G Good shock load absorption, yielding low
snapback at break. G Remains flexible and easy to splice in use. G Does not absorb water. G Fully UV stabilised. G Excellent chemical resistance except in the
presence of alkalis.
APPLICATIONS G General fishing. G Inland shipping. G Merchant Navy. G Mooring lines. G Mooring tails.
