Safety · Anti Snap-Back

TOUGH-MIX PRO® RRR

The SNAP BACK REDUCER design is a revolutionary safety solution for mooring applications. The 12-strand construction provides easy handling, while the specially engineered internal structure absorbs and dissipates energy on failure — significantly reducing dangerous snap-back risk and enhancing crew safety. Floating, compliant with OCIMF MEG4.

TOUGH-MIX PRO®
Reinforced Mix

TOUGH-MIX PRO®

Reinforced high-tenacity polyester & polyolefin composition creates superior breaking strength. Technically designed construction provides higher tensile strength, more flexibility and better abrasion resistance than normal composite rope — retaining stability, safety and higher residual strength after repeated mooring operations.
