100% AmSteel Fiber 12-StrandSingle Braid with Samthane Coating. Available in sizes 7/64" to 4-5/8" diameter. Breaking strengths from 1,200 libs. in the 7/64" size (that's as much as a 12-strand 1/4" diameter ski rope) up to 1,300,00 lbs. in the largest size. AmSteel yields one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios available. It is stronger than steel, floats, and will not absorb water. Applications are many, from tapered sheets, halyards and even running backstays! AmSteel is very slippery and will not hold well around cleats, stoppers, and winches. Apply a polyester cover material to the area of the rope where it needs to be winched or cleated, and lock-stitch the cover to the core. Splicing technique- 12-strand HWMPE Splice.
