Braid Optimized for Bending (BOB®) 12 Strand
Dyneema® SK75 & Vectran Blend, 12-StrandBOB® 12 strand is a high strength, low elongating single braided rope construction with excellent long term creep resistance and superior cyclic fatigue performance, especially in bend-over-sheave applications. BOB® 12 Strand comes standard with a specially formulated coating that is designed to maximize the rope’s durability in bending situations.
BOB® 12 Strand is easily spliced using a simple lockstitch type splice, brummel splice, 4-3-2 or 5-4-3 tuck splice. The soft, torque free braided construction provides ease of handling.
