1/2 inch HMPE 12 Strand Rope – 1,200 ft. Spool

Description

1/2 inch HMPE 12-Strand Rope – 1,200 ft. Spool

Strong As Steel Wire Rope!

1/2 inch Blue HMPE (High Modulus Poly-ethylene) 12-Strand has an extremely high strength to weight ratio & same or better break strength than wire rope yet it floats. With high flex fatigue and abrasion resistance it is easy to field splice. HMPE is considered to have the lowest stretch of any synthetic rope. Designed to be comparable to Samson’s Dyneema Amsteel Blue.

Our heat-treated 12 strand rope with polyurethane coating is torque-free that yields a maximum strength to weight ratio, with the same strength as steel wire rope of similar diameter. This HMPE rope is an excellent replacement for wire rope. Additionally, a specific gravity of 0.98 makes it very useful in a marine environment. We also carry 1/2″ HMPE rope cut to length by the foot and in 600 ft. spools.
