Technical Data: Ultra Blue-3 Ropes

Barry Publication: Technical Properties of Synthetic Fibres
Characteristics:
Ultra Blue rope constructions are truly a major development in comparison to traditional polypropylene ropes. Ultra Blue ropes utilize Samson’s proprietary Ultra Blue bi-polymer olefin fiber. This maximum-strength fiber creates ropes that are 30% to 35% higher in strength than equivalent polypropylene constructions. This fiber gives Ultra Blue ropes up to three times more wear life than polypropylene. The unique fiber surface develops excellent grip capability while adding to the surface wear life.
