Ultra Blue™
Ultra Blue™ rope constructions are truly a major development in comparison to traditional polypropylene ropes. Ultra Blue™ ropes utilize our proprietary Ultra Blue™ copolymer 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 the wear life over polypropylene. The unique fiber surface develops excellent grip capability while adding to surface wear life. The overall strength and wear features give the opportunity of downsizing while maintaining longer wear life over standard polypropylene ropes.

Characteristics:

30-35% stronger than polypropylene.
Floats
Excellent flex wear resistance
Superior ultraviolet resistance over polypropylene

Applications:

Mounting and Tie-Up Lines
Floating Tow Lines
Slings and Mooring Pendants
Hand and Block Lines
Pulling Lines

SSR-301R™
SSR-301R™ is the ultimate lockline, specifically designed by Samson to virtually eliminate "slipstick" in locklines when checking barges. The 3-strand rope construction develops a high strength, lightweight and controlled smooth checking line that has double the wear life of standard lockline ropes. This is accomplished by our unique fiber and internal Resistex® lubricant.

The fiber utilized in each of the three strands of SSR-301R™ are produced, processed and controlled by our Quality Assurance Program. This insures a documented monitoring of base fiber materials that are used to produce this high performing product. The core fiber of each strand is orange Ultra Strong™ copolymer yarn that is 35% stronger than standard polypropylene fiber. The core fiber of each strand then has our internally produced cover of high tenacity spun-filament polyester fiber plied over it.

The outer cover of spun-filament polyester allows for excellent wear and heat resistance. To enhance and maximize the rope performance we add our exclusive Resistex® lubricant to the core yarns which constantly lubricates the outer surface fibers when working loads are applied. This constant migration of Resistex® lubricant to the surface yarns maximizes rope wear life, allows consistent checking ability and minimizes heat build-up during checking.

SSR-301R™ is the most long-term cost effective lockline available.

Characteristics:

Smooth checking
Virtually no "slipstick"
High Strength
Excellent resistance to wear

Applications:

Locklines

Pro-Set™ Nylon
Rope performance is determined by strength, stretch, wear resistance and handling flexibility characteristics. A premium three-strand rope should be flexible but firm - thereby maximizing resistance to wear, snagging, hockling and kinking. A premium rope construction should resist effort to open the lay of the rope - higher resistance as diameter increases. The strand of the rope should be developed with optimum balanced twist to create a firm round strand for maximum wear. The lay of the rope should be uniform and consistently smooth - otherwise the lay tension is out of balance and ultimate strength is affected. Finally, the rope should be heat set and stabilized to assist fiber, twist and lay tension formation to assure all the required characteristics are built into the rope for premium performance.

Pro-Set™ Nylon with Pro-Gard™ marine finish is a quality, heat stabilized, four-stage, three-strand nylon rope.

Characteristics:

Consistent dimensionally stable balanced rope for maximum service life

Heat stabilization pre-shrinks and sets teh rope construction to yield full life flexibility

Long-term superior wet wear and residual strength due to Pro-Gard™ marine finish

Stabilization and marine finish minimize rope hardening to ensure ease of rope splicing and handling.
