Leaded Polysteel Rope
Leaded Polysteel Rope, in yellow with red tracer, sold in 10mm, 12mm, 14mm & 16mm diameters.
As with standard Polysteel, this rope is very tough, strong and durable.
Leaded Polysteel will sink over time though and is a good choice if a sinking line is required e.g. mooring rope. It is also used for fishing gear, potting rope, crab rope & other commercial fishing uses.
Key properties at a glance:
- Excellent UV and abrasion resistance
- Rot, mildew & water resistant
