Stocked by heritage ropemakers James Lever in Bolton, the Everlasto Orange Floating Lifeline 6mm offers impressive tensile strength within a slender, high-speed profile. This 6mm diameter is the perfect choice for secondary safety lines and rescue throw-bags because it’s specifically engineered for rapid aquatic deployment. Unlike natural fibres that grow heavy when wet, this line remains lightweight and buoyant even during prolonged submersion.
Product Information
Built with a traditional 3-strand twisted construction, the Orange Floating Lifeline 6mm is manufactured from high-tenacity polyethylene. The synthetic thermoplastic is naturally lighter than water, ensuring the rope stays on the surface indefinitely without waterlogging or sinking.
The fibres are UV-stabilised to prevent the cordage from becoming brittle under direct sunlight. This ensures the rope remains flexible and reliable for use on open decks or in wet lockers. The synthetic composition is entirely rot-proof and resistant to the corrosive effects of saltwater, oils, and common acids.
Key Features
- Permanent Buoyancy: Naturally lighter than water to ensure the line stays on the surface indefinitely.
- Weather Resistance: UV-stabilised and rot-proof composition prevents brittleness and mould growth.
- Simple Maintenance: Requires only a periodic fresh-water rinse to remove abrasive salt crystals and grit.
- Fray-Proof Finish: As a thermoplastic, the ends can be heat-sealed to fuse the twist and prevent unravelling.
- Easy Storage: Store in loose coils to avoid “memory kinking” and ensure the line is ready for immediate use.
- This rope conforms to EN ISO 1969:2004, meeting recognised international standards for performance, quality and safety requirements.
The Orange Floating Lifeline 6mm is the industry standard for lightweight safety tasks. Its slender profile is ideal for swimming zone boundary markers, small dinghy painters, and private watercrafts.
