Description

Hempline 3-strand rope is a high-quality cordage with an impressive history, developed in-house and manufactured by AB Knut Westerbergs Repslageri. Here is a detailed description:

Material and properties: Hempline ropes are strong and abrasion resistant ropes made from synthetic fiber, with the look of natural hemp.

  • Ring spun polyester: Hempline is made of 100% ring spun polyester yarns. This is a high quality fiber with excellent UV resistance and high breaking load. It is also very soft to the feel, resembling cotton in texture. The ropes are 3-strand and have a breaking elongation of approximately 25%. Its relatively high density means the ropes sink in water.
  • High strength: ring spun polyester has outstanding strength and durability while maintaining excellent grip for securing knots. It also has excellent UV resistance properties making the ropes suitable for outdoor use.
  • Natural look: The beige colored high quality ring spun yarns make these ropes look very similar to natural hemp ropes.

Applications: Hempline ropes have a variety of applications, and its versatility makes it a popular choice across different industries.

  • Anchor & mooring: for old boats and wooden sailboats, it is often used as mooring and anchor rope for leisure boats due to its natural look.
  • Decoration: These ropes are an excellent choice for outdoor decorative purposes where you may want the look of a natural hemp rope but need a more durable, synthetic alternative.

Advantages: Hempline is a reliable and proven cordage that has stood the test of time and continues to evolve and improve with multiple generations of rope makers. It is renowned for its strength, grip and durability, making it an excellent choice for various purposes, especially within the maritime and decorative industries.
