Corrosion Resistant Rope Care for Marine Applications
Corrosion Resistant, or "Stainless Steel", rigging and ropes should be rinsed with fresh water on a regular basis. Using
a water-soluble detergent will not harm the metal and may make general deck cleaning easier. Parts should be
inspected after each use. Cables should be checked for wire breaks, misaligned swage fittings, and corrosion. Also,
swaged fittings should be checked for cracks. Any other "stainless" parts can be inspected at the same time.
"Stainless steel" can stain and corrode. It is an alloy, but it does still contain Carbon. So if you see extensive
discoloration, or "pitting" the parts should be replaced. If a part requires scraping or grinding to remove corrosion it
should be removed from service and replaced with new parts. Regular cleaning and inspections will assure the best
possible service life for these parts.
Lifeline Care
Lifelines are usually 7x7 construction stainless steel cables coated with vinyl, or PVC, and usually white in color. The
special grade of plastic has been engineered to remain durable and attractive after prolonged exposure to sunlight and
seawater. Chemical cleaners and kerosene should not be used to clean plastic coated cables. Their use may actually
degrade the integrity of the plastic or, in the case of kerosene, may spread the stain to a larger portion of the cable.
These cables should be cleaned at the same time as the "bare" cables in the rigging.
