Novatec Braids Ltd. began braiding synthetic ropes and lead line for the commercial fishery in 1991 and has evolved into Canada’s premier manufacturer of high performance and technical ropes for a wide range of industry. Their Novagold nylon, Novablue polyester and Spectec-12 UHMPE ropes are often used in spliced mooring or tow lines and meet or exceed all industry quality standards. Field replaceable, Chafe-Pro® protection will significantly increase the safe working life of these critical mooring lines and hawsers. Chafe-Pro® chafe protection products will complement Novatec’s development of custom in house fabrications and support their growing dealer network for industrial and recreational marine markets.
