AMSTEEL®-BLUE 7/8"
Coated Blue - 180ft
AmSteel-Blue 7/8" is a high-performance, 12-strand single braid made from 100% Dyneema fiber, offering exceptional strength and durability. Notably, it boasts a superior strength-to-weight ratio and very low stretch, making it stronger than comparable wire rope while remaining lightweight enough to float. With its low stretch, high flex fatigue resistance, and excellent wear durability, AmSteel-Blue is ideal for demanding tasks and heavy-duty applications.
Its Samthane coating further enhances its abrasion and cut resistance. Recommended for split-drum winch applications, AmSteel-Blue should not be used on H-bitts, capstans, or cleats where surging or rendering the rope is necessary. It has been verified by ABS according to MEG4 standards and is type-approved by ABS, BV, DNV, Lloyd's, and RMRS. With options for sustainable, bio-sourced fibers, AmSteel-Blue allows you to reduce your environmental impact without compromising quality or strength. For heavy-duty tasks requiring a strong, lightweight alternative to nylon rope, AmSteel-Blue is a top choice.
