and ultimately you've engineered
a better product."

As marine applications became more demanding, the rope industry faced a new challenge -- to engineer a
better performing polyester rope product.
Through a program of intense fiber research,
AlliedSignal engineers discovered the solution.
By applying a unique and proprietary SeaGard® finish to
the ACE polyester fibers, a better performing wet abrasion
resistant rope was now able to be constructed.
In independent testing and in field testing by several
rope manufacturers, ACE Polyester SeaGard ropes --
3-strand and braided -- outlasted and out-performed
ordinary polyester ropes by incredible margins, even
under the most severe wet abrasion conditions.

Today, rope manufacturers have found that they
require a higher level of performance plus cost-
effectiveness for the most demanding applications, such
as: tethers for balloons, underwater surveillance systems,
offshore oil rigging and transmission and distribution
(T&D) lines. ACE Polyester SeaGard meets these
requirements. And, for the sailor who wants the best in
performance, SeaGard ropes offer that certain added
security plus easy, smooth handling.
