Aquaflex Shipping Rope
This product is a premium Aquaflex Shipping Rope featuring an eight standard (8 STD) braided construction, engineered specifically for high-demand marine applications. The rope is a blend of polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PEST) fibers, combining the floatation and light weight of PP with the strength, low stretch, and superior abrasion resistance of polyester. The rope is supplied in white for high visibility and cleanliness, and includes robust 1.8 meter covered eyes spliced at each end for immediate, protected attachment.
