MAGNARO® Float rope
MAGNARO® Float is a mixed or composite rope of high tenacity polyolefin and high performance polyester. A special marine finish is applied to further increase the wear resistance in a marine environment.
The rope offers very good abrasion resistance and very high strength. Its buoyancy and excellent handling properties make it the ideal mooring rope for all types of ships.
