It is spun from extruded copolymer fibres in a 3-strand hawser lay, and Southern Ropes rates it, size for size, at almost three times the strength of manila and almost 50 percent stronger than conventional tape polypropylene rope. It is light, floats, resists UV and has excellent abrasion resistance, and it is made to ISO 1346:2012 and ISO 9554:2010. A full 220 m roll covers moorings and buoy lines for a dive training site, a long anchor warp for a dive boat, or truck and trailer tie-downs for a season. Break loads run from 1,360 kg for 8 mm to 4,910 kg for 16 mm, and Southern Ropes advises choosing a rope with an adequate safety factor for the load.
