Norfloat supply a wide range of rope which is most commonly used for Mooring but it can also be used in many other applications within the Aquaculture and Sailing industry.
Polyester
Polyester ropes remain durable and easy to handle even when wet. The ropes are spliced easily into soft eyes for use in mooring lines or lanyards. Polyester doesn’t loose strength when wet, it has excellent UV resistance, very good abrasion resistance and will not shrink under normal conditions.
Polyester has a higher specific gravity than Nylon or Polyrene and it therefore similarly, a shrinking rope.
Polyester ropes manufactured to exceed both British and European Standard published by the European Committee for Standardization, or CEN (BS EN 697: 1995).
Three / Four Strand Hawser Lay Polyester
Available from 10mm – 24mm Line diameter
Twelve Strand Plaited Polyester
Available from 10mm – 24mm Line diameter
Nylon
General purpose sinking rope hardens and shrinks when in contact with water, unlike Nylon rope which has excellent stretch and recovery characteristics and is used in many anchoring and mooring applications. Nylon looses 10% of its Break Load (KG) when wet.
New Nylon ropes can stretch up to 35% of their length before it breaks. The stretch characteristics of a used rope will reduce proportionally to the number of times it has been worked, and to the load that it has been subjected to.
Nylon ropes manufactured to exceed both the British and European Standard published by the European Committee for Standardization, or CEN (BS EN 943:2002).
Three Strand Nylon
