Rope Characteristics

Enduralon is a double-braided rope consisting of a nylon sleeve over a multi-filament polypropylene core. The major advantage of Enduralon over 3-strand construction is a much higher strength to weight ratio in a neutrally buoyant line. Due to Enduralon's high elongation it carries a 6:1 maximum working load to extend its fatigue life.
