"Engineer a better fiber, and ultimately you've engineered a better product." r*» mmmwrnmmm r i% SSI? I 11 Jr. i-vj >MI»>M.K||>P,i- • • ^amm 1W811 A.C.E. Polyester 11W 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.

AlliedSignal FIBERS 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.
