Atlas rope is a synthetic fiber rope formed from 100 % nylon monofilament and continuous filament yarns. It has a greater tendency to elongate than steel ropes and therefore is less susceptible to breakage from shock tension strain. Also, compared to steel ropes, it requires much less maintenance and is considerably lighter and easier to handle, facilitating rapid mooring. Atlas rope is generally easy to handle and can be spliced easily allowing for any type adjustment or moderation to be done on board. This rope has excellent resistance to abrasion and will become more flexible and easier to handle with extensive use. Standard length is 220 mtr. When ordering, please specify the diam and length of the rope and if one or both ends of the rope should be eye spliced. Relative density : 1.14.
