Synthetic rope or called plasma rope is a light weight rope with extremely high strength and very low stretch characteristics. Rope Braid is manufactured with a polyester cover to provide good abrasion resistance. The core coating provides adhesion between core and cover braids to prevent cover bunching at high load points. This rope withstands shock loadings and has a tight knot radius. Applications include sheets, halyards, checkstays, downhauls, outhauls, control lines, running backstays, topmast backstays, reefing lines, cunning hams and barber haulers. Safety note - international standards recommend that safe continuous work loads should be 1/6th of the maximum breakload
