RP-12 NYLONTM

All Products Print Page

RP-12 NYLONTM

RP-12 Nylon is a round-plaited 12-strand construction of nylon, treated with our proprietary Pro-Gard marine finish. This combination provides reduced wet-strength loss, improved abrasion resistance, and high energy-absorbing properties. This firm, flexible rope provides superior handling and maximum wear. RP-12 Nylon offers excellent shock mitigation for peak dynamic loads during towing or mooring operations, and is spliceable using Samson's standard splice techniques. RP-12 Nylon has been verified by ABS according to MEG4.
