Ropes made of high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE, similar to Dyneema) - these are advanced products that have a unique combination of strength, lightness and stability. Made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, they are superior in performance to many traditional materials, including steel.
Advantages:
- Breaking load significantly higher than steel ropes of the same diameter (10 times).
- Abrasion resistance provides a long service life.
- Positive buoyancy allows the use of ropes in marine environments without the risk of drowning.
- Low weight facilitates installation and operation.
- Low stretchability (3.5% elongation) improves accuracy.
- Chemical resistance and UV resistance.
Application:
- Oil and gas industry for lifting and transporting cargo.
- Shipping services: mooring, towing, trawling, rigging.
- Energy, construction, agriculture for tasks that require high strength.
Technical specifications:
- Specific gravity: 0.97 g / cm3 (do not drown in water).
- Melting point: 144–152°C.
- Operating temperature: up to 70°C.
- Diameters: from 4 to 96 mm (3 -, 8-and 12-strand ropes are available).
