SURESHIELD-EPX^TM

SureShield-EPX^TM is a torque-free, high-strength, HMPE product with a polyester jacket. The durable jacket provides grip and protects the strength-member core from degradation. The core and jacket work together to prevent excess cover slack during mooring operations, which translates to dependable service. SureShield-EPX^TM will perform on all types of winches, offers better resistance to flex and tension fatigue than wire, and delivers the quality and consistency you expect from Samson. This product design requires a specialized splicing technique. A standard cover repair kit is available and easy to use in the field. SureShield-EPX has been verified by ABS according to MEG4.
