BlueWater Safeline NFPA
SAFELINE NFPA
SafeLine features a 16 carrier polyester sheath braided over twisted nylon core strands.
This unique balance of sheath and core produces a rope with exceptional handling
characteristics and resistance to abrasion. Designed to elongate, in the event of
accidental shock (impact) loading, to absorb energy and reduce risk to the rescuer.
The polyester sheath offers a higher melting point as well as better UV and chemical
resistance than does nylon. 5/8 and 1/2 inch are certified to NFPA 1983/2001 edition,
General Use standards. 7/16 inch is certified to NFPA 1983/2001 edition, Light Use
standards. Excellent choice for fire/rescue, high angle rope and technical rescue use.
BlueWater Roots
BlueWater traces its roots to a family-owned business that began manufacturing ropes and cordage in 1903. Our modern history began in 1969 when we manufactured the first American-made kernmantle caving rope. This rope went on to become the now famous BlueWater II +Plus™. The standard in quality and durability. In 1975 we introduced the first synthetic low elongation rope for fire and industrial high-rise rescue. Synthetic nylon fiber was a radical departure from the norm of one inch manila ropes that were in use. Our UL Classified NFPA 1983/2006 edition life safety ropes have become the most widely used ropes of this type in the country and are the first choice of fire and rescue groups around the world. We followed in 1982 with the first commercially available line of UIAA certified dynamic climbing ropes made in the U.S.A. These ropes rapidly gained popularity with climbers due to their unsurpassed quality and performance.
ISO 9000
In 1995 BlueWater became the first American manufacturer in our industry to obtain ISO 9000 Certification. ISO 9000 is an internationally recognized Quality Management system. It insures the highest possible quality in manufacturing and service.
