Spectra^® 12 Strand

Spectra 12 strand provides very high strength, low stretch and excellent abrasion resistance in a single braid construction. For the equivalent weight rope it is over 3 times as strong as polyester and has less than one half the elongation. Spectra 12 strand comes standard with polyurethane finish and is easily spliced using a simple lockstitch type splice. Its soft, torque free braided construction provides easy handling.
