♦What is UHMWPE rope?
UHMWPE is a safer alternative to wire rope and is better value for money. It is an extremely high-strength, lightweight, heat-treated rope.With a high abrasion resistance and low stretch ability, our TKLUN® UHMWPE is appropriate for many industrial operations. At larger diameters, this rope falls into a high price bracket due to its superior properties.
♦What does UHMWPE stand for?
UHMWPE stands for ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. You may also hear it referred to as HMPE, or by brand names such as Spectra, Dyneema or Stealth Fibre.
UHMWPE is used in high-performance lines across a variety of industries, including marine, commercial fishing, mountaineering, and aquaculture.
It has many properties; it is light enough to float and UV resistant. You will also find it used in yachts, especially for sails and rigging, as its low stretch allows the sails to maintain their optimal shape while still being extremely resistant to abrasion.
SEA FISHING
Due to its high strength, smooth handling and low stretch, this rope is the rope of choice for ship’s auxiliary cables, offshore rigs and tankers. It is particularly suitable for maneuvering vessels in distress situations.
♦What are the properties of UHMWPE?
- Low density – floats on seawater
- Light weight
- High performance
- Low moisture absorption – waterproof
- Chemical resistant – except oxidizing acids
- High strength – high breaking strength
- UV-resistant – extends rope service life
- Abrasion resistance
- Ultra-low elongation – 3-4% at breaking load
♦What is UHMWPE used for?
- Extreme sports – wakeboarding/kitesurfing/paragliding lines
- Mooring – OCIMF recommends this method for safely mooring tankers
- Marine equipment – anchor ropes / halyards
- Towing heavy loads – especially vehicles and boats
- Land and sea winches
- Lifting slings and cables
- Trawls
- Synthetic Chains
