5/8″ 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 5/8″ HMPE rope in 600 ft. spools and bulk 1200 ft. spools.

**Warning** Do not use for overhead lifting. Never exceed safe working load limits. Rope should be taken out of service with signs of wear, fraying, or broken fibers. Misuse may result in serious injury.
Tape rope before cutting. Once cut, burn exposed ends with flame to prevent fraying.
This spool of rope is able to ship via UPS shipment. We offer some of the lowest shipping rates available across the entire U.S.A.
