​TC GardTM
TC Gard is a tightly braided cover construction of aramid fiber that is spliced onto the strength member to protect it from wear and abrasion in specific areas. Designed for use in regions where extreme heat is an issue, in applications like
tug operations, where frequent handling and use put a premium on rope protection and resistance to snagging. For vessels where frequent mooring operations are the norm, TC Gard provides maximum protection for working ropes.
Samson recommends DC Gard (706) made with HMPE fiber if enhanced abrasion resistance is required. If standard abrasion resistance is required, Samson recommends PC Gard (432) made with polyester fiber. Contact Sales Support for more information.
