POWER-MIXED™
POWER-MIXED™ is a polyester-polyolefin mixed-fiber towing rope designed for marine towing applications where a balanced combination of strength, elongation, abrasion resistance, rope weight, buoyancy, and handling performance is required.
Available in 8-strand and 12-strand constructions, POWER-MIXED™ combines polyester and polyolefin fibers in configurable ratios. Polyester contributes durability, abrasion resistance, and controlled rope behavior, while polyolefin helps reduce rope weight and adjust density and buoyancy characteristics.

How to choose the towing rope?
| Requirement | POWERNEEMA® | POWER-MIXED™ | POWERNYLON™ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength-to-Weight | Very High | Balanced | Moderate |
| Elongation | Low | Intermediate / Configurable | High |
| Buoyancy | Floating | Configuration-dependent | Sinking |
| Energy Absorption | System-dependent | Balanced / configuration-dependent | High |
| Main Selection Driver | Strength + low weight | Balanced performance | Elasticity + shock absorption |
Why Choose POWER-MIXED™ Rope for Towing?
A towing rope must balance more than breaking strength alone. Rope weight, elongation, abrasion resistance, buoyancy, handling, winch compatibility, and the dynamic behavior of the complete towing assembly all influence rope selection.
POWER-MIXED™ combines polyester and polyolefin fibers to provide a configurable balance of these properties. Compared with a single-fiber construction, the fiber ratio can be adjusted to achieve different combinations of rope weight, elongation, durability, and buoyancy for the intended towing arrangement.
Final selection should consider towline configuration, required strength, operating loads, towline length, environmental conditions, deck equipment, and connection hardware.
