About UHMWPE
UHMWPE, Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, known as different trade names as Dyneema by different manufacturers).
Due to its high durability and unbeatable resistance to abrasion, UV, and chemicals, UHMWPE provides endless solutions for outdoor applications, especially in marine uses.
- Lighter! Stronger breaking force!
UHMWPE micro ropes are smaller and lighter than most other utility ropes while providing more strength.
This particular rope can help make your outdoor activities lighter without compromising strength and performance.
- UV Resistant!
UHMWPE retains its superb properties after prolonged exposure to UV light. Extremely high UV resistance, superior to Aramid (Kevlar, Technora, Twaron) and most high tech fibers.
Excellent repair rope for most outdoor applications, especially for marine use.
- Wear resistance is unrivaled!
The wear resistance of UHMWPE is closely related to its molecular weight, the higher the molecular weight, the better the wear resistance.
The abrasion resistance of UHMWPE is 4-7 times that of ordinary steel pipe, 27.3 times that of stainless steel, 6 times that of nylon, and 4 times that of ordinary polyethylene. In addition, UHMWPE’s wear resistance allows it to be used for long periods of time in high wear environments, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement and lowering production costs.
Endless Outdoor Uses
1) Outdoor emergency fishing line and utility rope.
The best rope for any place where extra protection against abrasion is needed.
UHMWPE is highly resistant to abrasion and can extend the wear period considerably compared to nylon and polyester fibres.
UHMWPE micro ropes can be used as whipping or repair ropes when ropes or load-bearing equipment are prone to rapid wear due to severe friction with wood and rock.
2) Paragliding Cord / Kite Surfing
UHMWPE Superfine is the favourite paragliding line, with less than 1% stretch under working load and minimal elasticity, allowing the paraglider to react quickly and resisting deformation under load for a longer service life.
Zero water absorption helps to maintain its unrivalled qualities in wet conditions (flying a kite on the beach).
The self-lubricating smooth surface makes cords less likely to tangle and sewing and stitching a breeze.
3) Hammock Rope
UHMWPE has a high specific strength and high specific modulus, which is more than ten times that of steel wire of the same cross-section, and a specific modulus that is second only to that of extra-grade carbon fibre.1 This means that it is able to withstand a high tensile force while maintaining a low weight, which makes it ideally suited for use in hammock ropes.
Secondly, UHMWPE has a low density of 0.97 to 0.98 g/cm3, which allows it to float on water.1 This property makes hammock ropes easier to use and less likely to sink.
In addition, UHMWPE has excellent impact resistance and cut resistance, low elongation at break, large work of fracture, and a strong ability to absorb energy.1 This makes the hammock rope more durable in the process of use, and able to withstand a variety of external forces of impact and cut.
Finally, UHMWPE also has good abrasion resistance, chemical resistance and UV radiation resistance.
