Polyethylene Mooring Line | UHMWPE Floating Tow Rope
High strength ropes made from ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. They have a low specificgravity and float on water. Tensile strength matches steel cables perfectly at the exact same diameter.
Accreditation and Certificates:
Technical Specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
| Material | UHMWPE |
| Structure | 8 or 12 strand braided |
| Density | 0.97g/cm³ Floating |
| Melting Point | 145°C |
| Max Env Temp | Max 70°C |
Key Features:
- Extreme Strength: Tensile strength equals steel cables at the same diameter.
- Ultra Lightweight: Weight sits at just twelve percent of steel cables for the same strength.
- Low Elongation: Deformation under load remains minimal, with breaking elongation close to steel.
- Floating Design: A density of 0.97g/cm³ prevents tangles effectively during water operations.
Applications:
Used widely across fields like marine rescue, defense ships, marine geophysical prospecting, and ship mooring.
Installation & Maintenance:
Operators must not use this rope in environments exceeding 70°C. Check the 8 or 12 strand braided structure regularly for any signs of loosening.
Custom Options Available:
Need something specific?
Factories offer custom 8 strand and 12 strand braided structures based on specific operational requirements.
FAQ :
Q: How much lighter is it than standard steel wire?
A: When achieving the same breaking strength,its weight is only twelve percent of a steel cable.
