Synthetic fiber rope

HMPE

High Modulus PolyEthylene rope is one of thestronghest, most durable and innovative ropes on the market today. The rope is made from ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene.

The individual HMPE rope yarns are impregnated with a durable coating to reduce abrasion and extend the service life. The strength of HMPE rope is comparablediameter/ diameter to steel wire rope.

Available in two varieties: single braided and cover braided rope.

Nylon and polyester

Nylon and polyester rope provide the highest breaking strength out of common synthetic fibrè ropes. Due to the excellent properties both qualities are used when heavy circumstances require a high grade rope.

Polypropylene splitfilm

The perfect rope for day-to-day use. In comparison with other synthetic ropes Polypropylene is the cheapest choice.

HMPE fiber ropes - key characteristics

  • Incredible Strength: It is pound-for-pound 15 times stronger than steel
  • Lightweight: It is 1/7th the weight of steel wire. A single person can carry a coil of HMPE that would require a forklift if it were steel.
  • Low Stretch: It has very little elasticity (less than 3-4%), making it excellent for applications where you need precise control.
  • Durability: It is highly resistant to UV light, salt water, and most chemicals.

It is widely considered the "gold standard" for high-performance ropes in marine, industrial, and off-road applications.
