Freshly manufactured and stronger than acetate with anti-static properties. If working exclusively with tape splices, plastic leader is the most affordable leader variety. Also Spectra’s primary lab leader!
If working exclusively with liquid cement, we suggest looking at our German made acetate leader for proper splicing compatibility.
