What is the breaking strength & weight of Dynamica TK20?
The Dynamica TK20 ropes(12 Strands UHMWPE Rope) are produced with HMPE/Dyneema® and have outstanding creep resistance. The development of the low creep means that TK20 has a slightly lower strength performance compared with SK75 and SK78.
Dynamica TK20 is up to 10 times lighter than steel wire.
These characteristics ensuring the following advantages:
- Easier rigging
- Decrease in handling speed
- Less resources required
- Fewer riggers and less equipment required
- ROV handling possible
- Overall cost savings

12 Strands UHMWPE Rope
What is the elongation of Dynamica TK20?
Dynamica TK20 is a 12 strand non rotating braided rope with an outstanding creep resistance.
Dynamica TK20 is produced with Dyneema® TK20 fibres meaning these ropes are extremely length stable even under tension from millions of cycles and over many years.
Is Dynamica TK20 rotation free?
Yes, Dynamica TK20 has a torque-neutral construction, which means that “snaking”, bird caging and kinking is not an issue, which is a common problem with steel wire ropes.
Do & don’t
Dynamica TK20 is used only for engineered purposes often in the most challenging conditions.
Do not use the TK20 over rusty surfaces and sharp edges as this can lead to cuts, abrasion rope abuse and splice damages.
To attain long service life ensure all surfaces are in proper condition.
How to cover & protect Dynamica TK20?
Want longer service life? Protect your rope with a cover!
We recommend that TK20 ropes are covered in the eyes, bearing points and on the entire length. The cover can be braided or woven made of polyester, Cordura or Dyneema®.
For some operations, we recommend applying a mud and sand filter in order to protect the rope during the many service years.
We assist you in choosing the cover for your TK20 rope.
