Water Rescue Throwline (4500 lb. Strength)

Our most popular and highly recommended double braid water rescue throwline featuring a recently developed multifilament polypropylene fiber core that has twice the tensile strength of standard multifilament polypropylene yarn. The tightly braided sheath of premium quality DuPont nylon provides abrasion resistance plus adds to the overall strength. This combination produces a strong, floating, flexible, highly visible yet economical rope. This is the rope used in our #4570 Water Rescue Throw Bags found on page 152. DO NOT USE FOR RAPPELLING OR RESCUE SYSTEMS. Diameter: 3/8”(10mm). Tensile strength: 4500 lbs.(2041kg). Colors: bright yellow with orange strikers standard, yellow with blue strikers and solid yellow are optional.

Water Rescue Rope‑Kernmantle

Construction is of the kernmantle design: The continuous stranded core is made of multifilament polypropylene which provides the buoyancy to float the braided nylon sheath. The sheath is the same nylon braid that makes PMI ropes number one in abrasion resistance. PMI WATER RESCUE ROPES SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR RAPPELLING OR TO LIFT CRITICAL LIVE LOADS.

CONSTRUCTION: Kernmantle

MATERIAL: Sheath DuPont 707 type 6,6 nylon; core Phillips multifilament polypropylene.

ELONGATION (stretch): Greater than 50% at failure.

HEAT RESISTANCE: Core melts at 235F.(113C).  Sheath melts at 480F.(249C).

BRAID: one over one under for high abrasion resistance

CORE: Continuous, spliceless parallel fiber bundles.

IDENTIFICATION: Continuous marker in core.

LENGTH: Any length from 1 foot to over one mile.

COLOR: Sheath bright yellow with blue stripe. Core off white.

VIS-MAT™ High Visibility Water Rescue Rope

VIS-MAT™ uses yarns made with 3M Scotchlite™ reflective material braided directly into the sheath. Thus, the rope can be seen clearly even in pitch-black conditions when a light is shined on it. Fluorescent yarn in the sheath also provides high visibility during daytime and low light conditions. Color: Yellow sheath with blue and reflective tracer.
