Cima HMPE / Dyneema

HMPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, sold as Dyneema or Spectra) gives strength comparable to steel wire of the same diameter at around one seventh of the weight, with only 3 - 4 % elongation. It floats, but it creeps under sustained load and softens near 145 - 150 C, so drum friction has to be controlled.

12-strand braid, coated
Diameter range
6 mm - 96 mm
Elongation at break
approx. 3 - 4 %

Applicazioni

  • High performance mooring lines
  • Winch and crane lines
  • Yacht running rigging

Normative

  • ISO 10325 (HMPE ropes)
  • OCIMF MEG4 line documentation
  • Ideal where crew handling weight and line stretch must be minimised.
  • Supplied with a Line Design Break Force (LDBF) certificate on request.

I valori sono tipici per il tipo di fibra. Carichi di rottura, pesi e tolleranze esatti sono indicati nel certificato fornito con ogni cima.
