Depending on the type of fiber each rope is made from, it will be more resistant to abrasion, traction, UV rays or elongation, among other things.
At Spliceroom we advise you to choose the best type of rope to improve its performance and durability.
Properties of the most commonly used fibers in marine ropes
POLYESTER
Dynamic, good breaking strength, high flexibility, high UV resistance. Ideal for mooring lines, tow lines, ground lines, etc.
Dyneema
High toughness and strength, low elongation and high UV resistance. It is used for halyards, sheets, heavy duty loops,…
POLYAMIDE
High tenacity and strength with good stretch. Low resistance to UV rays.
Polypropylene
Low density fiber, high elasticity and buoyancy. Low resistance to UV rays.
Kevlar
High toughness and break resistance with zero elongation. Low resistance to UV rays. High abrasion resistance. Usually used on racing boats.
Technora
High toughness, strength and low elongation. Resistant to UV and abrasion. Ideal for heavy duty sheets or halyards.
These properties are critical to safety and performance in marine applications. Choosing the right rope depends on the specific needs of each vessel, application and maritime environment. At Spliceroom we will advise you on the best option and finish for your ropes.
