HMPE Rope (High Modulus Poly-ethylene) 12 Strand has an extremely high strength to weight ratio and has the same or better break strength as wire rope. Easy to handle, this floating rope has a high flex fatigue and is abrasion resistant. 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 in winches or towing applications. Additionally, a specific gravity of 0.98 makes it very useful in a marine environment.
