  • Highest strength to weight ratio of any fibre
  • Low creep
  • High UV & chemical resistance
  • Very low elongation
  • Safer than wire
  • Easy to splice
  • Excellent durability
  • Class and Meg4 certification available upon request

Texteel has a specially formulated coating system to maintain flexibility for ease of handling and inspections, whilst not compromising on strength or durability. Texteel is resistant to kinking, maintains strength around tight bend radius and has low recoil making it safer than traditional steel rigging products.

Texteel has the added benefit of being a Meg4 compliant product and can be produced with class certification upon request.
