Plaited nylon ropes

Model Nylon Brait, Oceanographer's Brait

8-strand plaited nylon ropes combining braiding and plaiting for high energy absorption; Oceanographer's Brait uses nylon 6 for predictable mooring performance.

Description

Yale's plaited nylon ropes combine braiding technology with plaited construction to maximise energy absorption.

Key features

  • Nylon Brait: high energy absorption from a very long yarn path and a stranditure developed to maximise energy absorption
  • Oceanographer's Brait: described by Yale as the most predictable nylon rope available
  • Oceanographer's Brait is made from nylon 6, which Yale states has higher energy-absorption capability than nylon 6-6 ("the difference between a mooring that stays on station or is lost")
  • Twisted fibre for firmness

Applications

Oceanographic and buoy moorings and other mooring and towing lines where energy absorption and predictable behaviour are critical.
