Samson AmSteel-Blue 12-Strand Rope with SK-78

Features:

• Samson AS-78 Dyneema (like its counterpart Samson AmSteel® Blue) is a torque-free, 12-strand single braid
• AS-78 is an excellent wire rope replacement with extremely low stretch and superior flex fatigue and wear resistance
• Samson's AS-78 is years ahead of traditional Amsteel and is designed for improved service life in applications where creep results from long-term static loads
• 30-40% lighter than Aramid ropes of the same strength
• Abrasion resistant
• Easy to inspect
• Easy to splice
• Enhanced creep properties
• Excellent wear characteristics
• Extremely low stretch
• Flexible
• Floats
• High strength
• Highly flex-fatigue resistant
• Lightweight
• Maximum strength-to-weight ratio
• Samthane coated
• Similar elastic elongation to wire rope
• Torque-free construction
• UV stabilized
• Wire rope replacement
• Previously known as Samson AS-75 (814 Series)
