Kureha was the first company to develop fluorocarbon on the market and is still the only polymer manufacturer of Fluorocarbon lines in Japan. Seaguar ropes are made of the most advanced polymer material on the market directly from Kureha Chemical R&D department.
Seaguar R18 fluoro ltd. is a super premium fluorcarbon line of strength and flexibility. This is the strongest line among Kureha Seaguar. The rope uses the FNT process to make the strongest polymers and to have the flexibility, which means that the R18 fluoro LTD has both maximum tensile strength, most abrasion resistance, best sensitivity and flexibility. At the same time it is very Bjuk and does not have a tendency to rise on the coil, or "hashle off" that many stiffer fluorocarbon lines can do. The line is also perfect as a paw material if you want a paw that is very soft.
The surface has hard polymer for more strength and abrasion resistance, and the core of the rope has flexible polymer.
Compared to Seaguar Ace and other premium fluorocarbon ropes, Seaguar R18 has about 20 % higher tensile strength.
