Construction: The ropes are 3-strand and have a breaking elongation of approximately 25%. Its relatively high density means the ropes sink in water.

Applications: Reinforced spun polyester has a variety of applications, and its versatility makes it a popular choice across different industries. it is commonly known worldwide as “Nordic ropes” as the blend was invented by the company behind Swedish Rope.

Mooring & anchoring: In the boating industry, it is often used as mooring and anchor lines for leisure boats due to its reliable knot grip and high strength.
Fishing industry: Its UV resistance also makes it an excellent option for trotline fishing used in demanding fishing gear exposed to tough weather conditions. Other applications include fender lines, lead ropes, guide lines and more.
