Length of 8mm Polyester Rope

 
Double Braided Polyester rope is the time-proven marine standard.
The rope consists of a low twisted compact inner braid primarily to add strength and a twisted braided outer which provides strength and abrasion resistance to stand the test of time.
The outer yarns are braided so as the individual fibers lie in line with the rope itself.
This stops individual fibers from catching on any minor protrusions while in use.
While the outer adds to the strength of the rope its primary function is to give durability.
The diameter dimension is stated when the rope is pulled tight - when relaxed it will be a slightly larger diameter.
