High Modulus PolyEthylene rope is one of the strongest, most durable and innovative ropes
on the market today. The rope is made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.
The individual HMPE rope yarns are impregnated with a durable coating to reduce abrasion and extend the service
life. The strength of HMPE rope is comparable diameter/diameter to steel wire rope. Available in two varieties:
Single braided and cover braided rope.
| Relative density | Single braided: 0,97 (floats) Cover braided will vary from 0,97 to 1,15 depending on cover type |
|
| Temperature resistance | Melting point 150°C | |
| UV resistance | Excellent - fully stabilized | |
| Extension | 4,5% at break (new rope) reduces to 2% (worked rope) |
|
| Flexibility | Light weight and exible for easy handling - good shape retention | |
| Chemical resistance | HMPE excellent Polyester limited to alkalis |
Length measured under reference tension according to ISO 9554. Minimum breaking load measured according to ISO 2307.
Spliced ropes will on average have 10% lower minimum breaking load. Figures and information are for guidance purpose only.
