12 STRAND POLYSTEEL 12 Strand Polysteel ropes offer similar tenacity to polyester, but offer a significant weight reduction and non-water absorption properties. Torque balanced construction with firm round profile, 12-Strand Polysteel is easily spliced, and used for general working lines, secondary mooring lines, mooring pendants, and slings and strops. APPLICATIONS Mooring Pendants, Secondary Mooring Lines, General Working Lines, Slings, Strops MATERIAL MANUFACTURED FROM POLYSTEEL: Floats on water Hard wearing UV stabilised Low elongation Light weight CONSTRUCTION TWISTED FIBRE CONSTRUCTION: Improved abrasion resistance 12 STRAND BRAIDED CONSTRUCTION: Optimised pitch to yarn twist - improves strength and longevity Firmer rounder rope, aids handling Easy to splice Flexible product and easily handled Torque balanced PROPERTIES RELATIVE DENSITY: CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: UV RESISTANCE: MELTING POINT: 0.91 Exact figure varies with diameter Very good resistance to most chemicals (additional information available on request) Stable 150°C TERMINATIONS SPLICED EYE TERMINATION: 12 strand core splice An allowance of 50x rope diameter should be made for the overall length of the splice. To optimise the efficiency of a soft eye splice (without a thimble), the angle formed at the neck of the splice should be 30° or less, meaning that when flat, the length of the eye must be 2.7x the diameter of the object over which the splice will be used. A splice will normally increase the diameter of the rope between 1.5x and 1.75x

ELONGATION Typical working elongation (for a bedded in a rope): @ 10% of break load: 1.70% @ 20% of break load: 2.80% To break: 12.6% Marlow Ropes Ltd Marlow Ropes, Inc. www.marlowropes.com Ropemaker Park Cordage Business Park UK: +44 (0) 1323 444 444 Hailsham Plymouth [email protected] East Sussex, BN27 3GU MA 02360 US: +1 508 830 444 England USA [email protected] Marlow Ropes Ltd endeavours to ensure that all products are manufactured to the highest standard, these guidelines are not intended and do not create any warranties, express or implied.
