High Tensile Rope Replacement for Spectra
Due to current world events and the on going war in Iraq there is a severe shortage of Spectra leaving suppliers scrambling to meet military requirements. This has left the civilian market searching for a reliable alternative. North Water has worked with their suppliers to develop an Exciting new alternative called Spectrx. It has a polyester sheath and a high tensile pre-tensioned multifilament polypropylene core. The combination of the two materials produces a static rope with exceptional qualities; it is lighter, stronger, has a higher buoyancy rating, a much higher resistance to UV, heat and abrasion. We offer it in 1/4” and 3/8” diameters built to the following specifications:
1/4" (6.35 mm) 2,100 lbs. break strength, elongation 2.7% at 300 lbs.
Weight: 1.65 lbs/100 ft
3/8" (9.50 mm) 3,220 lbs. break strength, elongation 2.5% at 300 lbs.
Weight: 2.74 lbs/100 ft
