POLY-DACRON ROPE

Chance Poly-Dacron Rope is a three-strand flexible combination of synthetic fibers. Its excellent dielectric properties, and high resistance to mildew, rot and chemical damage make it an excellent handline rope. While the PD can satisfactorily be used on capstans, it should have one or two more wraps than manila: PD works fine in sliding hitches.

Although PD offers greater tensile strength than manila, it is recommended that natural fiber rope be replaced with same size synthetic rope for workman handling ease and confidence. Also, a wider cross-section proves better in withstanding accidental transverse cutting or severe spot abrasion. The size-for-size substitution makes it possible to benefit more fully from the strength and economy of synthetic ropes.

NOTE: While the fibers are resistant to moisture absorption, water can be trapped between strands as with any braided rope.

POLYPROPYLENE ROPE

Chance Polypropylene Rope was selected for its strength, light weight and resistance to moisture. Water accumulation on the surface can be readily removed by shaking vigorously and wiping with an absorbent cloth. As with any rope, polypropylene should be stored in a dry place.

NOTE: While Polypropylene Rope has excellent dielectric strength, water accumulation between strands is a definite hazard. Also, Polypropylene Rope should not be used in running hitches Not for use on capstans.

COMPOSITE FIBER BRAIDED ROPE

Chance Composite Fiber Rope is made of polyester fibers plied over polyolefin fibers in each of the 12 strands. The composite strands are braided together to produce rope with an excellent strength to weight ratio. The low stretch, firm, round construction gives excellent gripping power on capstans.
