UHMWPE mooring rope is made of UHMWPE fibers, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber is one of the strongest fibers in the world, it is excellent rope instead of wire rope.
Melting Point: 145℃
Specific Gravity: 0.97g/cm3(Float)
Elongation at break: 3~3.5%
Good resistance to UV and chemical
Non-Absorbent
High wear resistance and fatigue resistance
UHMWPE fiber rope has the following four representative types: Type L 8 strands, Type T 12 strands, Type C braided Rope and Ocean Engineering Platform Rope.
Linear density and minimum breaking force of Type L 8 strands and Type T 12 strands
Application: The products are mainly used in fields of shipbuilding, berthing and mooring, towing, national defense, marine transportation, offshore industry
