MAGNARO®-HMPE Fiber Rope
Description
HMPE (High-modulus polyethylene) fibers are produced by gel-spinning ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). It has an extremely low coefficient of friction and is extremely resistant to abrasion. The strength is higher than that of conventional steel wire rope and the corresponding weight is up to 7 times lower. Its better handling characteristics, buoyancy and increased safety (no lash back) are especially appreciated in towing and mooring applications.
Features & Benefits
- Fibers are produced by gel-spinning ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)
- Very low coefficient of friction
- Higher strength comparable to conventional steel wire rope
- Weight up to 7 times lower than wire rope
- Easier handling
- Increased safety (no snap back)
- Our custom made high tenacity polyester Magnaro © Sleeve is pre-installed on both ends of the ropes and tails, protecting the entire length of the eye against abrasion
