The efficiency of nylon and polyester fibre is considerably improved by using Superline construction. This construction is perfectly balanced and consists of central cores with a braided cover. The cover is compact and protects the inner core.
The advantage of this construction is that only the cores are the load-bearing elements. Thanks to the long-lay construction
of the cores the rope has a higher breaking strength diam for diam than conventional 3- or 8-strand ropes. For the same reason the elongation of this type of rope is reduced.
Marsiline is another version of Superline polyester. The very compact construction in combination with a thin 100% polyester tear and wear resistant cover provides optimised diam/strength ratio.
| Relative density | 1,14 | |
| Temperature resistance | Can be used below 0°C Melting point 218°C (Nylon 6) | |
| UV resistance | Excellent - fully stabilised | |
| Extension | Breaking stretch of 31% (new rope) reduces to 25% (worked rope) | |
| Flexibility | Good - becomes harder during use | |
| Chemical resistance | Good resistance to alkalis - limited to acids |
| Relative density | 1,38 (can vary slightly - depending on cover) | |
| Temperature resistance | Flexible down to –40°C Melting point 260°C | |
| UV resistance | Excellent - fully stabilised | |
| Extension | Breaking stretch of 14% (new rope) reduces to 12% (worked rope) unchanged wet or dry | |
| Flexibility | Remains flexible - no water absorption | |
| Chemical resistance | Good - except to alkalis |
