Sealite’s synthetic mooring solutions provide a lightweight and environmentally
sensitive alternative to traditional mooring chain and are ideal for many marine
mooring applications. Unlike chain, the synthetic mooring solution minimises
damage to the sea bed whilst the smooth stretch of the unique nylon core absorbs
shock loads in the wave and tidal conditions of the marine environment. These
unique mooring solutions are a perfect complement to Sealite’s complete range of
mooring and navigation buoys and can be used in many applications as a chain
replacement.
Heavy duty construction
The mooring line incorporates load bearing nylon bres laid in an
endless, parallel lay construction into galvanised wire rope thimbles or
high performance stainless steel thimbles.
The entire construction is covered in a vulcanised industrial rubber
that protects the nylon core and thimbles from corrosion in salt and
fresh water. The unique design of the embedded thimbles eliminate
fraying of the nylon bres, whilst the abrasion and cut resistant rubber
is UV stabilised and salt water resistant allowing it to be virtually
maintenance free for years.
Lightweight design
The use of nylon and rubber materials makes the mooring line very exible and lightweight
whilst maintaining break strains consistent with traditional chain. The lightweight solution means
handling, installation and servicing is made easier with a reduction in heavy lifting and deployment
equipment.
Tailored to suit various requirements
The Sealite synthetic mooring line is a high performance solution, best suited for marine conditions
and environments.
With over 50 different types available, the Sealite synthetic mooring solution has carved a strong
place in the market and is perfect for use in rivers, lakes, estuaries, harbours, bays and oceans.
Single lengths range from 300mm to standard 20 metres along with the option of joining multiple
lengths to suit any application. Break strengths range from 4 tonne through to 100 tonne.
The Sealite Advantage
• High strength nylon 6.6
core with smooth stretch
up to 20%
• Very exible and lightweight
and suitable with various
attachment devices
• Easy to install with
galvanised thimble eyelets
embedded into the rubber
casing. Heavy duty stainless
steel thimbles also available
on request
• The Mooring Line is UV
stabilised and salt water
resistant allowing it to be
virtually maintenance free
for years
• Abrasion/cut resistant rubber
protects the inner nylon
bres from the elements and
keeps out water, mud and
creatures
• Friendly to the marine
environment
• Special thimble eye
congurations can be
requested
• Individual serial numbers for
easy traceability through the
use of internal RFID

Environmentally friendly
The Sealite synthetic mooring solution provides an environmentally friendly and long-lasting alternative to traditional chain and bre
rope mooring systems which can damage the sea bed and are detrimental to the marine environment. This is due to the positive
buoyancy of the mooring line which oats versus the effect of ground chain around the mooring anchor.
HOW TO ORDER
Synthetic Mooring Solutions
SL-SM-[tonne]-[length]-[thimble]
Product No.:
Break Strength:
4, 8, 12, 20,30, 50, 70 or 100 = tonne
Mooring length:
From 3–20 = Length of mooring (metres)
Thimble size:
22, 24, 28, 36, 44 or 52 = Galvanised thimble size (mm)
19 or 25 = Stainless thimble size (mm)
Applied load vs elongation (%)
Break strength is the applied load at which the mooring line fails
Applied load vs Elongation (%) curves vary for different sized
mooring lines and for different eye combinations Note: Applied Load
of 294kN is roughly 30,000kgf. A 30t Break strength mooring line fails
above this applied load
