The Ultimate Synthetic Rope
Rope manufactured from a densely packed core of high strength synthetic fibres encase in a tough and durable polymeric sheath.
 

Designed for use in a wide variety of applications including: yacht & shipping guard rails, cantenary bridge supports, light rapid transport systems, military, maritime and civil engineering

PARAFIL® TYPES

PARAFIL® is constructed from five standard fibre types. However, each of these is available with a choice of polymeric sheaths to suit varying applications. These include a specially formulated polyethylene, which is suitable for most applications (sheath material A), an EVA copolymer that is more flexible and stress-crack resistant (sheath material C) and a polyester elastomer that offers higher resistance to heat and abrasion (sheath material H). A flame retardant, cross linked polymer sheath is also available (sheath material X).

PARAFIL® Rigging

In yacht racing, minimising the mass of the yacht is critical to reducing windage and increasing speed. In short, every kilogram counts and carrying excess weight can make the difference between winning and losing. PARAFIL® Rigging has an excellent strength to weight ratio and is very stiff. These desirable properties are combined with resistance to UV, chemical and biological attack, making PARAFIL® rigging a winning solution.

A new PBO (p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) variety of PARAFIL® -Type Z has recently been developed. Zylon® PBO is a revolutionarily synthetic fibre providing PARAFIL® -Type Z with an extremely high tensile strength and modulus along with a very high tenacity. PBO is generally accepted to be the first synthetic fibre with the capability to replace standard steel in yacht rigging.

Our PARAFIL® terminations can be specially designed to connect to any existing fitting.

PARAFIL® Guard Rail

PARAFIL® is used by the RNLI on their fleet of lifeboats and in the leisure yacht industry as the material of choice for guard rail. PARAFIL® is strong, durable, easy to install, easy to cut in emergencies and resistant to UV radiation, sea water and ice build up. The properties of PARAFIL® make it an ideal material for guard rail and in other demanding sea applications.

PARAFIL® is installed using specially designed terminations. Linear Composites Limited(LCL) terminations are constructed from high quality materials and like PARAFIL® are highly resistant to corrosion. The combination of PARAFIL® and LCL terminations results in a guard rail system with a long design life which performs even under the most extreme conditions.
