MIL-R-24536 high-performance marine rope

The MIL-R-24536 specification, also associated with MIL-DTL-24536, covers high-performance rope intended for demanding naval handling and mooring applications.
The specification is associated with rope constructions intended to improve safety during heavily loaded marine operations.

Technical characteristics

Controlled dynamic behaviour: Rope construction is designed to manage energy under high load and reduce hazardous behaviour in the event of failure.
Heavy-duty construction: Depending on the applicable configuration, the rope can use advanced strand or coaxial constructions for demanding marine service.
Synthetic-fibre materials: Fibre combinations can be selected to balance breaking strength, elongation, mass and abrasion resistance.
Marine resistance: Materials and finishes are selected for exposure to UV, abrasion and hydrocarbons according to the application.
