Abstract:
A mooring rope comprising two different types of synthetic materials which provide the mooring rope with a larger diameter and greater wear resistance without causing the strength of the rope to increase. The mooring rope may comprise a plurality of rope strands, wherein each strand has a core comprising primarily polypropylene with high molecular weight polyethylene rope yarns twisted around it. The production process for manufacturing such mooring ropes is disclosed, too. Synthetic materials include liquid crystal polyester, aramid and ceramics.
