Tufflex®

Polyethylene & Polypropylene Blend, 8 & 12 Strand

Tufflex® Rope reflects our commitment to bringing innovation to commercial marine and fishing markets. Its unique blend of polyester and polypropylene in each strand creates highly efficient construction. Tufflex is torque balanced, has excellent wear resistance, and is one of the quickest ropes to splice.

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