12-Strand Dyneema® Fiber Rope (UHMWPE)
The 12-strand Dyneema® fiber rope (UHMWPE) yields the maximum in strength-to-weight ratio and is stronger than wire rope constructions. It floats, offers superior flexibility and stands up well to intensive use.
Highlights
- Standard colors: Orange, green, white, blue (other colors available upon request)
- Stronger than a steel cable of the same diameter at only 1/7th the weight
- Extremely light
- Highly abrasion resistant
- Easily spliced
- Torque-free
