Description
Amsteel Blue is an exceptionally strong, extremely lightweight, 12-strand rope from Samson Ropes. It's made from Dyneema SK78 fibers, which are known to be the strongest fibers in the world! This rope is fantastic for anchor creation and soft shackles. Its unique braid allows it to be spliced in different configurations.
Amsteel Blue is a torque-free, 12-strand single braid that yields the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio and, size-for-size, is the same strength as steel, yet it floats. Amsteel Blue is an excellent wire rope replacement with extremely low stretch and superior flex fatigue and wear resistance. It is specially designed for improved service life in applications where creep results from long-term static loads.
Made in the USA
