Dyneema (Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber) Rope

About the UHMW-PE Ropes

Frankstar Dyneema (Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber) Rope combines the characteristics of light weight and ultra-high strength. Its density is lower than that of water, allowing it to float naturally on the water surface. The UHMW-PE rope is an ideal high-performance material for Marine and highly corrosive environments. With its outstanding weather resistance and chemical stability, it can withstand harsh environmental challenges such as ultraviolet rays, moisture, and acid and alkali corrosion without additional treatment, and is widely used in Marine engineering, scientific research exploration, and industrial fields.

Features

Mainly used on plankton trawl nets, it can provide static buoyancy, and the load-bearing capacity is lower than that of Kevlar ropes.

High Strength: On a weight for weight basis, Dyneema is 15 times stronger than steel wire.

Light Weight: Size for size, a rope made with Dyneema is 8 times lighter than steel wire rope.

Water resistant: Dyneema is hydrophobic and does not absorb water, meaning it remains light when working in wet conditions.

It Floats: Dyneema has a Specific Gravity of 0.97 which means it floats in water (specific gravity is a mesure of density. Water has an SG of 1, so anything with SG<1 will float and an SG>1 means it will sink).

Chemical resistance: Dyneema is chemically inert, and performs well in dry, wet, salty and humid conditions, as well as other situations where chemicals are present.

UV Resistant: Dyneema has very good resistance to photo degradation, maintaining its performance when exposed to UV lightHigh Strength: On a weight for weight basis, Dyneemais 15 times stronger than steel wire.

The physical properties of high-strength and high-modulus polyethylene fibers are excellent. Due to its high crystallinity, it is a chemical group that is not easy to react with chemical agents. Therefore, it is resistant to water, humidity, chemical corrosion, and ultraviolet rays, so there is no need to undergo ultraviolet resistance treatment. Corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, excellent abrasion resistance, not only has high modulus, but also soft, has a long flexural life, the melting point of high-strength high-modulus polyethylene fiber is between 144~152C, exposed to 110C environment for a short time will not cause serious performance degradation, etc
