New Running Rigging Lines at METS 2012 from Samson Rope Meet High Tech Demand

Nov. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- Samson, the worldwide leader in performance rope, is introducing two new lines to its portfolio of high tech sail rigging; Smooth Ice and Control-DPX™. These products were developed with input and testing of high end riggers and competitive racers.

Control-DPX™ combines Dyneema® fiber and Samson’s patented DPX™ technology into a strong, lightweight line designed to offer the grip and easy handling needed in running rigging applications. DPX™ adds the grip and soft ‘hand’ of spun polyester to the lightweight strength of Dyneema® fiber. The combination creates a line that performs well where winches are required without an added cover, while retaining the feel needed in a mainsheet or guy.

Smooth Ice is the newest member of Samson’s Flavored Ice family of running rigging protection system.  Like the rest of the Ice family, Smooth Ice provides protection from heat build-up, but this cover-only construction combines Dyneema®, Technora®, and polyester fibers for exceptional protection from abrasion inherent of running rigging; especially around jammers and winches and through cleats. Smooth Ice is color-coded and designed to be used with Samson’s high-performance, single braided ropes.

Samson’s newest recreational marine products continue to set the standard for high performance and can be trusted as a safe and secure application around the boat. Samples of these lines can be seen up close at METS 2012 in the E&P Marine stand 11.315. More information is available online at http://epmarine.com/manufacturers_samson.htm
