SKU 44304
Color: white

RIGBY MFP BRAID is a double braided, multifilament floating rope suitable for a wide range of applications where buoyancy is a key criteria.

Construction

The MFP yarn is carefully selected, high-tenacity for this type of fiber at 7.0g/d or better. 100% of the MFP we utilize is also UV stabilized. Unlike other MFP ropes.

8mm: This is a double braid construction, but notice in the photo for 8mm (5/16") the cover is a 24-Carrier construction, unlike the larger 3/8". This is due to the popularity of this diameter for throw bag use; the 24C cover reduces chance of snags.

  • Wet strength loss is near zero
  • Resists rot, mildew, mold, and many chemicals
  • Lower melting point as compared to nylon
  • Size-for-size, over 20% lighter than Nylon and 40% lighter than polyester (RLS)
