The mantle of Ocean Polyester was developed to cope with extreme point loading on racing yacht winches. This need for both heat tolerance and grip is perfectly catered for by the combination of Aramid and Polyester, characteristics that are required in the cover of a friction hitch cord too. The strength comes from the core though, and for tree care, treemagineers have introduced a Polyester kern because of its' high abrasion resistance, tolerance of flexing and high wet strength. Ocean Polyester is available in 8mm and 10mm. As usual it can be bought by the meter and in spool lengths of 200m. New to the friction hitch world are loops and eye-to-eye slings in a range of lengths, with stitched terminations that are CE marked and conform to EN 566.
