Product Description
Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) ropes deliver 8x higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel wire with zero water absorption and permanent corrosion resistance. Engineered through gel-spinning technology, our ropes achieve industry-leading strength up to 8,268 kN (843 tons) while floating on water - the definitive solution for offshore, military, and heavy lifting applications.
Engineering Superiority
- Steel-Defying Strength: 110mm 12-strand rope achieves 8,268 kN MBL - exceeds ISO 2307 by 12%
- Zero Stretch & Creep: <0.5% elongation under working load - critical for precision operations
- Lifetime Corrosion Immunity: Impervious to saltwater, acids, and UV degradation (30-year service life)
- Military-Grade Reliability: Certified for submarine rescue & aircraft carrier arrestor systems
Precision Application Matrix
| Diameter (mm) | Construction | Primary Applications | Technical Edge |
| 6-16 | 8/12-Strand | Fishing trawls, sailboat rigging | Lightweight (2.3-16.0 kg/100m), easy handling |
| 18-32 | 8/12-Strand | Port mooring, light crane slings | 40% higher shear resistance vs. 8-strand |
| 36-56 | 12-Strand | LNG ship mooring, offshore PLEM | DNV-GL certified dynamic load tolerance |
| 60-88 | 12-Strand Reinforced | Research vessel CTD cables, submarine rescue | 5,160 kN break strength at 88mm |
| 96-110 | 12-Strand Armored | Bridge girder lifting, aircraft carrier arrestor | Nuclear-grade 8,268 kN MBL |
Selection Protocol
- Deep-Sea Mooring: Use ≥64mm 12-strand (40% higher dynamic load capacity)
- Arctic Operations: Anti-freeze coating maintains flexibility at -60°C
