The VETS 335 is a four-strand, right regular lay constructed rope. Each strand consists of a load-bearing Spectra 1000 core. The core is protected from abrasion by a non-load bearing, braided polyester, and DuPontª Kevlar¨ jacket.
Spectra floats and is pound for pound ten times stronger than steel. The VETS 335 has a designed safety performance factor specifically to reduce "recoil". The VETS 335 is an excellent alternative to steel in Heavy Marine applications.
The strand jackets on the VETS 276 are all polyester, the VETS 335 have an aramid polyester mix to better accommodate non-slip decks. The VETS 335 also has a strand construction that allows for a single strand to fail in a way that it does not snap back in the event of a failure.
