Tenex™
Tenex is a twelve-strand Samthane™ coated, high
tenacity polyester rope offering high strength coupled with
low stretch and outstanding abrasion resistance. Its
abrasion resistance and firmness is due to special
Samthane™ Type “S” coating which allows for easy
splicing while enhancing wear life and snag resistance.
Available in long, continuous lengths and a variety of
brilliant colors for easy
identification.
Characteristics
- Very easily spliced
- Non-torquing, non-rotational
- Excellent abrasion and snag resistance
- Selection of five brilliant colors
- Low stretch
Applications
Tenex single braid is a viable
alternative to using 2-in-1®
braids when easy field
splicing and economy are
major considerations.

Pro-Set™ Nylon
Rope performance is determined by strength, stretch,
wear resistance and handling flexibility characteristics.
A premium three strand rope should be flexible but
firm—thereby maximizing resistance to wear, snagging,
hockling and kinking. A premium rope construction
should resist effort to open the lay of the rope—
higher resistance as diameter increases. The strand of

the rope should be developed with optimum balance twist to
create a firm round strand for maximum wear. The lay of the
rope should be uniform and consistently smooth—otherwise
the lay tension is out of balance and ultimate strength is
affected. Finally, the rope should be heat set and stabilized
to assist fiber, twist and lay tension formation to assure all
the required characteristics are built into the road for premium
performance.
Characteristics
- Consistent dimensionally stable balanced rope for
maximum service life
- Heat stabilization pre-shrinks and sets the rope
construction to yield full life flexibility.
- Long-term superior wet wear and residual strength
due to Pro-Gard™
- Stabilization and marine finish minimize rope hardening
to ensure ease of rope splicing and handling
- Low stretch
Applications
- Mooring & Tie-Up Lines
- Anchor Lines
- Slings and Lanyards
- Shock and Tow Lines
