Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) rope, also known as Dyneeme Rope, is produced with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber and high technology, it’s high strength, lightweight, and low elongation. Because it is woven, not twisted, it will not rotate when loaded. It is rolled into a small coil and will not be kinked like a wire rope.

UHMWPE rope is a safer alternative than steel wire rope. It is 7-9 times stronger than steel (by weight) and 3 times stronger than polyester of the same weight. It’s small size (due to the small size used), so even by one person, it can be easily stored and quickly deployed in an emergency.

UHMWPE rope can float in the water to make it safer. Its low stretch characteristics provide higher sensitivity. And its low elongation combined with its low weight makes it easy to operate and the ship’s handling is extremely accurate, especially in distress and critical moments.
