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, RIGBY then applies the Radial construction method to improve abrasion resistance and rope workability, and working strength.
Key Attributes
- Floats in water (Specific gravity 0.91 g/ml)
- Wet strength loss is near zero
- Resists rot, mildew, mold, and many chemicals
- Lower melting point as compared to nylon
- RIGBY Radial construction means it is a fully spliceable double braid
- Size-for-size, over 20% lighter than Nylon and 40% lighter than polyester (RLS)
- 5/8" MFP has an average break strength of 6500 lbs with a WLL of 15%
- 5/8" MFP has a linear density of approximately 14 ft/lb (106g/m)
Common Applications
- Floating tow bridles
- High quality throw lines
- Water rescue
- Lightweight utility
Useful wherever a good blend of buoyancy, spliceability, and decent strength are required.
