Moortuf FX

Polyolefin & Polyester, 8- and 12-Strand

Moortuf FX offers a high strength to weight ratio and is an excellent replacement for heavier polyester lines. It’s unique blend of polyester and polypropylene in each strand makes for a highly efficient construction. Moortuf FX is torque balanced, has excellent wear resistance, and is one of the quickest ropes to splice.

Moortuf FX is an excellent choice as mooring, tie-up and pendant lines, tug assist lines and for general purpose heavy marine applications.
