HMPE Mooring Ropes
The strongest rope on the market. A replacement for steel rope that is much safer in comparison, is easy to splice, flexible and pleasant to handle. HMPE rope is one of the strongest, most resilient and innovative ropes on the market today. HMPE ropes are impregnated with a durable coating that reduces abrasion and extends service life. The exceptional properties and extreme strength of HMPE ropes are the reason they are frequently used as a replacement for steel ropes. HMPE ropes undergo special heat and UV resistance treatment. They have an extremely low coefficient of friction and greatly reduce operating costs. In addition, they offer a much safer handling solution compared to standard steel ropes.
Floats: Yes
Number of strands: 8 and 12-strand
