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:

Approved-logo3-1
Overview
Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene fibers give this rope amazing physical properties. When reaching the same breaking strength, its weight is only twelve percent of a steel cable. Operators can carry it with extreme ease. Material density drops to 0.97g/cm³, keeping the rope floating in water constantly. Its breaking elongation stays very low, matching steel cable performance closely. Daily wear, chemical corrosion, and ultraviolet radiation rarely damage its internal structure.

Technical Specifications:

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.
