Lugger Line
Single Braid
Lugger Line is a 12-strand single braid of copolymer olefins. Polypropylene and high-density polyethylene are coextruded to form the fiber. Upon cooling, the molten polyethylene and polypropylene material coalesce into a unique fiber with tenacity comparable to polyester but without the friction associated with polypropylene filament.

This rope is lightweight, floats, remains flexible even in freezing conditions and won’t kink or hockle. Splicing is fast, using our single-braid splice instructions. The standard color for this product is International Orange.

Dielectric Strength
The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Lugger Line is 100 micro- amperes when tested at 100kV per Yale Method 712- 1701 Rev 1 “Routine Production Test.”Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase rope’s conductivity dramatically.
