Mars 3/8 X50 Black/Or Rope M79055

The Mars M79055 is a 3/8 inch by 50 foot rope in black and orange for general utility use.

Rope condition determines whether it can be trusted, and inspection before use is the control.

Synthetic rope degrades in ways that are not always obvious. Ultraviolet exposure breaks down many synthetic fibres, and rope stored in sunlight loses strength progressively while appearing intact. Discolouration and a chalky or fuzzy surface are indications.

Abrasion is visible as fraying and flattening, and rope that has been dragged over an edge under load may be damaged at that point while sound elsewhere.

Chemical exposure is a particular concern in this trade, since rope stored in a vehicle alongside solvents, cleaning chemicals, and fuel can be attacked without any visible sign.

Heat damage causes fibres to fuse, producing hard, glazed areas.

Internal damage from shock loading may not show on the surface at all, which is why rope that has been subjected to a sudden load should be treated with suspicion.

The colour combination aids visibility, which matters where rope is used as a temporary barrier or where it presents a trip hazard.

Confirm the rope's material and diameter suit the use, store it dry and out of sunlight away from chemicals, inspect along its full length before each use, and never use general utility rope for lifting or supporting people.
