Every Skincover of our range can be made with extra thickness. It makes it less flexible but more durable and strong. If you prefer this way, please add “Plus” reference when ordering your Skincover. The diameters are (mm-inch): 4/7mm, 8/11mm, 12/15mm, 16/20mm – 1/8 to 7/32, 5/16 to 7/16, ½ to 5/8, 5/8 to 7/8 inch. These numbers are presented based on the core diameter you want to cover. The final diameter obviously depends on the core you are covering and also on your Skincover or Skincover plus choice. Example: 12mm - ½ inch core– choose Skincover 12/14mm – ½ / 5/8 inch.

ROPECARE How to select a ropeSelecting the proper rope involves evaluating a combination of factors and that is not always so simple to do. Some of these factors are quite easy to compare based only on the rope specifications. Others are not easily quantified, such as a preference for a specific color or how a rope feels in your hand. Reducing application factors that pertain to sizes or strengths on an initial purchase creates unnecessary frequent replacements and potentially dangerous conditions, in addition to increasing long-term costs. For fiber and construction that is equal, a larger rope will outlast a smaller rope because of the greater surface wear distribution. Similarly, a stronger rope will outlast a weaker one because it will be used at a lower percentage of its break strength with a reduced chance of it being overstressed.
Safety firstMaximizing the safety and rope performance begins with selecting the right rope, managing its strength loss through optimal handling practices, and retiring it from service before it creates a dangerous situation. Ropes when used properly they will give consistent and reliable service. The cost of replacing a rope is extremely small when compared to the physical damage or injury to personnel a worn out rope can cause.
Rope breaking loadsBecause all ropes are terminated with a splice or a knot, all published strengths herein are based on our lab tests, under a very tight same protocol. When comparing our breaking load values to other rope manufacturers, please be sure that you are comparing similar kind of ropes, using same fibers, approximately same diameters and weight/meter. Normal working loads do not cover dynamic conditions such as shock loads or sustained loads, nor do they cover where life, limb or valuable property are involved. In these cases, a lower working load must be used. A higher working load may be selected only with expert knowledge of conditions and professional estimates of risk, if the rope has been inspected and found to be in good condition, and if the rope has not been subject to dynamic loading (such as sudden drops, snubs, or pickups), excessive use, elevated temperatures, or extended periods under load.
Aggressions to a ropeApart from weather all rope hardware such as sheaves, rollers, capstans, cleats and knots are, in varying degrees, damaging to the rope. It is important to understand that rope moves, and, even under ideal conditions, it loses strength during use in any application. Any sharp bend in a rope under load decreases its strength substantially and may cause premature damage or failure.In sizing the radius of bitts, fairleads, and chocks for best performance the following guidelines are offered. The diameter of the surface should be at least three times the rope's diameter.A 4-to-1 ratio would be better yet because the durability of the rope increases substantially as the diameter of the surface over which it is worked increase.The ratio of the length of an eye splice to the diameter of the object over which the eye is to be placed (bollard, bitt, cleat, etc.) should be a minimum 3-to-1 relationship, and preferably 5-to-1.
Knots – not the rope´s best friendsPresence of knots can reduce tensile strength by over 50%. In order to preserve the properties of the product and to avoid premature failures the working load must never exceed 25% of the breaking loads shown. It is vital that the reduction in strength by the use of knots be taken into account when determining the size and strength of a rope to be used in an application. To avoid knot strength reduction, it is recommended that a rope be spliced according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Splice terminations are used in all our ropes to determine new and unused tensile strengths.Therefore, whenever possible, spliced terminations should be used to maximize the rope strength for new and used ropes.
Ropes and sheaves – balance is importantTo assure maximum efficiency and safety, sheaves for braided ropes should be no less than eight times the rope diameter. The sheave groove diameter should be no less than ten percent greater than the rope diameter. The sheave groove should be round in shape.Sheaves with “V” shaped grooves should be avoided, as they tend to pinch and damage the rope through excessive friction and crushing of the rope fibers. Sheave surfaces should be kept smooth, and free of burrs and gouges. Bearings should be maintained to ensure smooth rotation of sheaves.
How to store a ropeAll rope should be stored in a clean, dry area, out of direct sunlight, and away from extreme heat. It should be kept off the floor and on racks to provide ventilation underneath. Some synthetic rope, in particular polypropylene, may be severely weakened by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet rays. UV degradation is indicated by discoloration and the presence of splinters and slivers on the surface of the rope
It is the right time to change the rope?Unfortunately, there are no definitive rules nor are there industry guidelines to establish when a rope should be retired because there are so many variables that affect rope strength. Factors like load history, bending radius, abrasion, chemical exposure or some combination of those factors, make retirement decisions difficult. Inspecting your rope should be a continuous process of observation before, during, and after each use. In synthetic fiber ropes, the amount of strength loss due to abrasion and/or flexing is directly related to the amount of broken fiber in the rope’s cross section. After each use, look and feel along every inch of the rope length inspecting for abrasion, glossy or glazed areas, inconsistent diameter, discoloration, and inconsistencies in texture and stiffness.

Different Fibers, different characteristics, different results.
All the lines produced by Alpha Ropes® are made with the very best fibers in the market.
Together with our intense search for even better rope solutions, the raw material as always an important and decisive role in this chain.
Our clients want always the best rope and so do we.
Here you have some small presentation of the fibers and some of its commercial brands:
POLYAMIDE - NYLON ®
This fiber is well known for its good tenacity and very high elasticity. It is one of the best fibers for uses where shock absorption is important, such as mooring or towing ropes.
Nylon® is one of the Polyamide commercial brands.
POLYESTER - DRACON®/ TREVIRA®
The main characteristics of the Polyester fibers are the high tenacity and good abrasion resistance. It is quite flexible, with low water absorption coefficient, and resists well to
weather and chemical/physical agents. Polyester is a very “all round” fiber, and can be used in a high range of applications.
ARAMID - KEVLAR®/TWARON®/TECHNORA®/NOMEX® Aramid fiber had a great success in racing sailing world during the 80´s, being the best choice fiber in terms of elongation, creep and breaking load. Usually it was used on the
cores.
Nowadays is mainly used on covers, due to the high modulus and high heat resistance. It is sensitive to UV light but it gives an extra protection and smoothness to covers
working in high loads and heat situations.
Kevlar®, Twaron®, Technora® and Nomex® are some of aramid commercial brands.
LCP - VECTRAN® Vectran® is a high-performance multifilament yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer (LCP). This fiber exhibits good abrasion resistance, good high-temperature resistance
and high tenacity and modulus. Ensures minimal moisture absorption and outstanding vibration damping characteristics. It is very stable under static loads, showing very low
creep, although quite sensitive to weather. Vectran® is produced by Kuraray Co.Ltd.
PBO - ZYLON® PBO fiber, whose commercial name is Zylon®, manufactured by Toyobo Co., outstands for superior tenacity and modulus against aramid fibers and for a remarkable stability
under constant load, which makes it suitable to replace steel rod for rigging. Easily recognizable by its distinctive gold color, this fiber is featured by a great abrasion resistance
and excellent heat-resistance, withstanding much higher temperatures than aramid fibres. PBO Zylon® is however very sensitive to UV light and moist. Caution is required for
applications involving flex fatigue.
HMPE - DYNEEMA®/SPECTRA®
HPME is a high modulus polyethylene fiber, with exceptional characteristics in terms of tenacity, modulus and abrasion resistance. This fiber is featured by a remarkable light-
weight and ensures excellent resistance to chemicals and environmental agents, and a one of a kind durability. The fiber is incredibly versatile with virtually limitless applications.
The fiber is manufactured by means of a gel-spinning process that combines extreme strength with incredible softness. So the properties that make this fiber so special are:
High strength/low weight – Dyneema® is 15 times stronger than steel, and 40% stronger than aramids on a weight-for-weight basis.
Low specific gravity (0.97) - Dyneema® floats on water and is ideal for lightweight solutions.
Excellent chemical resistance - Dyneema® is chemically inert, and independent studies have confirmed that Dyneema® performs well in dry, wet, salty and humid conditions, as
well as other situations where chemicals are present.
UV resistance – Products made with Dyneema® fiber show strong resistance to photo degradation when exposed to UV light. The high UV resistance of the fiber ensures
continuing high performance.
Moisture resistance - Dyneema® fiber is hydrophobic. It resists water absorption, providing an extra level of protection and durability.
High durability - Dyneema® fiber can withstand the harshest environments for a longer time. This is due to its inherent strength, and its resistance to many damaging chemical
agents.
Developed and manufactured by Dutch DSM, Dyneema® is often confused with Spectra®, a different commercial brand of the same HMPE fiber.
Alpha Ropes® uses three kinds of Dyneema® fiber: Sk75, Sk78 and the latest Sk90.
Dyneema® Sk75 is the most used one. Dyneema® Sk75 has proven to be highly versatile for a wide range of products, from our Pro Race to the Olympic line range. It is indeed a
very light weight fiber, extremely low stretch, with no water absorption and excellent durability.
With similar breaking loads as the Sk75, the Dyneema® Sk78 improves almost on three times the creep performance than the Sk75 offering better rope stability under static loads.
It is often use in Ocean Racing.
The latest Dyneema® Sk90 features an even higher modulus (resistance to stretch) and strength when compared to other Dyneema® grades, while preserving existing attributes.
The breaking load is almost 15% higher than both Dyneema ®Sk75 and Dyneema®Sk78, with similar creep percentage of the first one. It is mainly used in extreme high
performance ropes, where the working load is a very important issue.
Tenacity is the measurement of the resistance of fiber to breaking
Elongation on break is the maximum elongation just at the moment the rope breaks under its maximum load.
Coefficient of friction is based on the rope´s resistance to slipping
Highest working temperature is the highest level of temperature the fiber can hold without losing its properties.
Melting point is the point where degradation occurs on the fiber loosing its properties, due to high temperature
Specific Gravity is the fibers density, it means, the relation between mass and volume. Water has density 1, meaning that fibers with values under 1 float, above 1 doesnt float.
Creep is defined as a material´s slow deformation that occurs while under load over a long period of time.Is mostly nonreversible. For some sintectic ropes, permanent elongation and creep are mistaken for the same
property and used interchangeably when in fact creep is only one of the mechanisms that can cause permanent elongation
